Oh shucks. I was still wondering if you could teach me a thing or two about how to drive the S2000!
Machoman, do you do any other trackdays besides BMWsg? It's tough at a good quality trackday like BMWsg because there are at least 5 others like you trying to get tips here and there. For a start you can send your data since you already have a datalogger, will reply
if and when there is time. Trackside you can get the kind old birds for free to help you out and see if they can help you ID exactly where you can improve and if they're even a better driver than you in the first place . Some focused enthusiasts are already up there and a drive alone doesn't really help anymore just watching, listening to descriptions, etc.
If you ever get stuck or tired of messing around with processes that take a lot of time for little gain, or you keep getting conflicting advice from equally experienced 'experts' floating around at every trackday, then since you like technical things, reading, working on your own problems, you should have no problem falling back to fundamental truths and quantitative testing based on that. We can run that program for you, or we can help you get started running your own program, and from there you filter out yourself what is true and what is false, learn who to trust and who not to, and hasten your progression.
Just remember that there are no driving gods - they all have to obey physics, it's just how well they drive within those laws. If you measure it, the limits are clear and apply to all. Factors which truly differentiate a pro driver as a whole, exist nearly entirely outside of the single timed laps, but that's a whole other post for later. Can't rely on human perception, descriptions, stories, etc. else we stagnate.
Cheers
