I completely agree with you lower, my lines could definately be improved, but I don't think they were THAT bad 
I don't think I met some of the faster guys out on the track either
Lower which car was yours
This is my last session, the line is better on some of the laps. I can see your suggestions are very valid after seeing Storms video above.

Yup there's awlways a balance. I'm sure I could go a few seconds faster around most tracks if I knew I could get home / be given money for a new car if I smashed it up, but to me it's just not worth it.
Nothing more shameful than going home on a trailer, not that any of us did, certain person excepted *ahem*Andy

Here is my video, critique welcome
If you click through and watch it on YouTube it's in HD
I wasn't quite brave enough to take the banked corner flat out, that big concrete wall was a bit scary. I was generally doing it about 90-95 though.

Next thing to do would be to learn to heel and toe (sounded like you weren't, apologies if you were), and then comes trail braking - essentially all down to practice, practice, practice

It's difficult to do so, as it can be much more difficult to drive when you have an instructor with you, and you're trying different things. What your instructor was saying to you at the time would be of far more use.
Had you been out on your own, I'd try to make some comments.
It's similar when there are cars in front as it's very easy to get distracted by what they are doing. It's (one of a few reasons) why I'd be no use at racing.

True, I was paying more attention to the instructior and less attention to my driving 
I will try and upload a vid later. I have one which is 16 mins long. What software do you use to edit your vids ?
