Looks like you're a bit unsure to pull more brake or change gear?

Idk.

Looks great though!

Yea the entry is pretty quick, dont have a speedo but i think its 140 ish. whatever about 5k rpm in 4th is with 4.1 6 speed and 195/50,haha.

-BRM, you mean coming into the hairpin? its sorta crazy cos you have to change down, but also scrub a lot of speed off, so theres usually plenty of handbrake and footbrake in there too.
