Looks like a lot of fun.

I'd work on shifts though, you have a tendency to stay on the throttle too long, the the revs jump when the clutch goes in. My instructor once told me to slow my shifts down, it's not a drag race. That helped my smoothness a lot.

Lightning looks like fun, it seems like a track with a good rhythm.

Thanks for the feedback! I do have a tendency to stay on the throttle a split too long sometimes and I need to work on being more consistent. Last season, I mostly stayed away from shifting during winding corners (was afraid to upset the car) but this is not the case so far this season. That's why HPDE is so fun, I can see myself improving from event to event.

Lightning is definitely very fun and I think my pace is faster on this circuit but I still prefer the Thunderbolt circuit instead that's on the other side of the park.

After my hyperdrive on the same track I am worried all others might not be as fun.

Good job, I did both lightning and thunder bolt on my 600rr track bike. I liked the thunder bolt slightly better
