Improve lap times, with an aim to ultimately enter leagues.
Some of your normal mistakes are creeping back in. Gearing is a relatively simple procedural change. Remember the gears that the reference lap achieves and try to copy them. Even if it feels strange or 'slow', you'll be surprised at how staying in a high gear avoids any engine throttling or over revving which destroys lap times.
Complete 3 sessions of 5 laps of the Red Bull Ring, each time trying to achieve the same gearing as the reference lap. The lap times don't have to be the fastest that you've ever done but the aim is to set these gears then develop your throttle and brake skills so you can maintain the revs (and ultimately the speed) through the corners.
The low gear isn't optimising the cars engine to the fullest of its potential. Choose the correct gear and the car will have more power and drive.
17% of your mistakes are here, a little more than last week.
An example can be found in Segment 1. Stay in 5th carry for speed and you'll be quicker in the corner. That is the simple fact.
Match the gearing of the reference lap. It might feel odd and the car isn't 'loud' enough but the saving on the corners are significant. This will cut into the 2.5 seconds you are behind the reference lap.
Braking points must be practiced until they become 2nd nature. Without the braking point nailed the line and exit speed will never to optimal.
Same as last week around 10% of your errors are due to your braking points.
Your telemetry in segment 8 indicates that you are braking too hard and too early. It is a fast corner try your best to maintain your speed.
A few tips to learn braking points. Try to remember the turn number or corner name. Find an obvious marker, whether it be the start of a kerb, a marker board, even the 3rd painted red part of a kerb. Find these visual clues and ingrain them in your memory. If the markers aren't too obvious try changing the part of the car that you look at. Most use their front bumper as the 'part', try using the side mirror or shoulder location instead.
You spent all that effort in getting the car up to speed. A couple of overly aggressive 'dabs' on the brakes can take too much pace out it. It is better to strive for a fast corner than braking too heavily
Just under 10% of your mistakes are due to too harsh braking.
On segment 7, again your braking was at 90% compared to 20% for the reference lap, a big difference that is costly
Practice getting a good feel of where you are in terms of pressure / use of your pedals. There are fast corners at the Red Bull Ring and sometimes a gentle touch on the pedals is all that is needed. This is whether the good drivers are able to gain as beginners lose too much speed by over braking.
