Lap time details

2017 Ecoboost, 295/40ZR18 Hankook R-S4. TDX HPDE event, intermediate group, dry track, Garmin Catalyst providing the video.

This is my best lap of the day; I was lowering times each session but the afternoon sessions were in the rain. I am a middlin' intermediate driver and still need to work on my consistency; my Catalyst "optimum lap" is 1.4 seconds quicker and I can see where I goofed in four places on this video: I missed Turn 1 apex by swinging wide, I messed up Turn 7 and lost time there, I braked a little early approaching Turn 17, and the wall coming out of Turn 17 still scares me and I cannot bring myself to push the car harder exiting that turn getting closer to that wall.

Beyond that, please critique me and tell me where I can improve. I'm not sure how much more time I can shed with an Ecoboost and R-S4s but I'm willing to try again.
