Are we watching the same video? That guy was driving like a donkey! 
I rest my hand on the shifter just over the straight since I don't need the steering feedback and if you listen between the manson you'll see I still hit the rev limiter in 2nd coming out off 11. The car revs so quick now down there that I have to be quick. Similiar w/ 3rd and 4th I'm just being lazy. I don't actually put any force on the stick.
I'm still getting my bearings w/ the SC so most of that lap I brake too much and too early. Comparing data to the NA :40.0 laps I'm in some places 5mph slower at turn-in/apex. But yes I should be braking much later for 2. I usually have only double apexed it when I'm being defensive.
I agree, on the lap where I had my best time from T2 to T4 was one where I got T3 right.
Inside wheel spin from lifting a rear.
Yup, I agree on rest. Entry to T9 in video isn't typical unless I'm defending which I'm not usually there.
Thanks

T3 is a weird corner. It just never feels *perfect*.
And I'm still not 100% clear on exactly how a donkey drives. I have plenty of experience with monkeys (Evo/STi drivers), gorillas (Vette guys), and sloths (the BMW crowd usually).... but no donkeys?

Cool... My worthless $.02:
- Don't rest your hand on the shift lever; the gearset is designed to have a certain amount of weight on it, i.e. the weight of the shift knob only.... not your hand/arm/shoulder.
