Scott,

I'm amazed with your lap times considering you were just barely behind the formula cars.

How much do you attribute to the car versus your driving ability?

If you were to run a bone stock WRX STI under the same conditions, how much roughly do you think your lap times would drop off?

Do you notice any benefit from the wing, how much time do you think it shaves off your lap times? I'd assume in the higher speed turns you benefit the most obviously and you probably have the horsepower to overcome the drag imposed by the wing.

On the road course, besides the driver what stands out the most on your car? Acceleration? Braking? Cornering, Aerodynamics?

I normally wouldn't be asking these questions, but I'm astounded by your sheer speed in a "sedan" versus very specialized open wheel race cars.

Edit:

I finally had a chance to review some digital video footage and I saw the section where you passed me. Your corner entry speed is fast, but your exit and straightaway speed is very fast.
