All the brake points that I had in my head for the M4 are useless now. The car carries so much more speed, but the carbon ceramic brakes are also much powerful. When there are some other cars braking ahead of me, I can see that they are trying really hard while I am just slightly touching the pedal. So need to continue re-adjusting and fighting my fears to start braking later :-)

For the next time, I decided to try a new track for me, T-Hill East. I believe it has one of the longest main straights in CA, and also most of the turns are high speed, so should be fun.
That is very good. Especially for the first time and a heavy car. Keep enjoying your beast.
