Also does this sound like a simple slipping clutch? Basically I put it into 3rd (100% it was in), and then i gassed it, and the revs shot up. I let off, tried again, revs shot up again. This happened on Ridge too, I found that it happened if I was driving it too hard. For example, hard downshift to 2nd, etc.Not sure if a new clutch is needed. I tested every gear on the highway after and the revs did not shoot up. Hopefully it's just a new clutch that is needed and not synchro's or anything.
For T2 (0:07), my instructor told me to go tight tight tight, whereas everyone else who has more track experience than me (and people running in Advance 1) suggested that T2 should be run wide and then cut across to apex. Thoughts?
Also, I recognize when I slowed down, that was pretty unsafe. Hazards on, but I should have checked for traffic coming down the straight. First time having anything bad happen on track, so I didn't know what to do. And crappy lines after the clutch slipped the second time (on the straight - right before pull over)

I believe the secondary exit is near the end of T2, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure if all the organizers use it, just be sure to mention it during the driver's briefing so they can explain how it's being used for the day.
I personally run T2 as wide as possible, but I feel like I can carry more mid-corner speed. Perhaps I'll try a more gradual turn in with more entry speed and trail brake to see what happens. I have a hard time trying it because there's a wall right in front
An instructor I've learned from before told me depending on the car, you can try a double apex into T2, I've yet to try that so I have no data on how fast it is for my car.
Here's my latest lap at Mission for reference.
