Watkins 5/13 - 5/14

First time at the Glen since doing many of the mods. The LSD with shorter gearing and stiffer suspension more than offset the switch from v730s to RS4s. I still need to add oil cooler ducting, as the day warmed up I was limited to 6500 rpm to keep temps below 280.

Notable opportunities are...
  1. Brake harder and longer into 1 to get on gas earlier up the hill
  2. Shifting halfway up the esses is worth about 2 tenths
  3. A shallower entry into the bus stop helps carry more speed through the bus stop
  4. Turn in earlier for 5 (mislabeled as 6 in the video)
  5. Brake later for 6, leave in 4th to mitigate oil starvation
  6. Brake later and harder for 7
