What does pinching mean?

I don't remember if I was coasting, but in the video, if I was it was cause I let the brz pass so I slowed down for that. And I'm surprised that this lap was my PB because I took this lap a lot slower. The video doesn't capture it well, but the BRZ in front of me was driving very reckless and sliding every other corner. So I do recall backing off a little to give space.

Hey dude, that blue BRZ is me. I’m sorry if I made you feel unsafe, that’s not my intention. I’m just pushing the car in different areas of the track to learn what’s fast and what’s slow with my car on this track. It was my first time at Ridge and I have set high expectations for myself. I was playing with the slip angle, I especially enjoyed the carousel and how you can maintain a solid slip angle throughout the corner with my tires. I imagine that’s what a skid pad would feel like!

However, I must disagree with you with the assertion that my driving was “reckless”.

My BRZ is stock and I did a 2:06.3 that day. I returned on July 7th and hit a 2:05.5. You can see my pads and street tires in the video description. I plan to hit a 2:04 in September, to close off the year before I make heavy modifications to my car over the winter.

Again, I apologize for making you feel unsafe. Thank you for letting me pass and giving me room!

Here’s my hot lap, chasing E92 M3.
