Fastest Lap - 1:05.465 (no footage as GoPro died)

So that was absolutely insane. A damp track with some corners feeling okay-ish and others having zero grip equals a lot of fun (and a few spins for me).

Not my first time in a two stroke (BUKC) but my first time in a DMAX-GT at Daytona and holy crap man. I don't know if it was the gearing, if I'm used to indoor karting speeds or something but that felt much faster than the BUKC test day.

I was all over the place in this session. My aim was to use it as practice to 1) get better at karting and 2) somewhat prepare me for the BUKC season but I was struggling wipe the smile off my face because of how much fun I was having. I'm sure a DMAX-GT is nothing compared to someone who's raced rotax karts since they were young but for a noob like me, this (and Club 100 karts) are about as good as it gets as I don't see myself getting my own kart for a very long time.

But yeah, everything I tried to focus on to improve my driving (looking through the corner, pushing the wheel with the outside hand, trailbraking) went out the window and I had a very messy session.

My GoPro somehow died mid session and I say somehow because it was fully charged when I left my house but somehow couldn't survive a 20 minute session? Maybe it was the cold messing with the battery but yeah, no footage of my fastest lap or the two offs I had at turn 1.
