1 Lap Video - 458 italia @ Istanbul Park Race Circuit

2 weeks ago, I attended another Track Event @ Istanbul Park and brake my own fastest lap time by 0.370 sec. albeit it was little traffic heavy day.
My previous best lap time was 2:12.383 which I did last year in October and this time I lapped 2:12.013.

My theoretical fastest lap time (consists of my best sector times) is 2:11.619 So there is still room to improve.
My car is a MY13 italia. I use 245/35/20 front, 295/30/20 rear Trofeo R tires. I made small changes in the alignment and have -2 degree camber in front. Last year I had -2.7 camber at the back. This year I tried -2.2 and didn't like it. The car has too much oversteer tendency. I'll change it back to -2.7 again. In the mean while the cars suspension is set to 10mm lower.

For track junkies, here is an additional info:
Pilota Ferrari instructor and Kessel Racing Pro Driver Giacomo Piccini did 2:08.749 with a Speciale which is the Circuit Lap Record for street cars. Basically he is 1 sec faster than me at each sector (3 sectors on the circuit)

So here is my 1 lap video of my 2:12.013 lap. I started the video from the end of the formulation lap to show the traffic on the circuit on that day. I did my best lap time in the 1st lap because there was no other clear lap.

I still aim for low 2:11.XXX lap time. Maybe next year.

 

And here are a few pictures from the last track event:
