Cool run.

Just my $0.02 so don't take it personally.

It seems like you're on and off the gas a lot. You should be able to improve your handling by being more gradual with the throttle and trying to maintain throttle more often than getting on and off it all the way. Keeping some gas on keeps the suspension loaded and the car will act more smooth and predictable because there is not as much weight transfer back and forth from front to back going on. Specifically in the slalom I would work on staying on the gas to keep the suspension loaded and just working it lightly rather than on and off the gas.

Nice run though and great footage.
