NZSTfan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
After watching this a couple of times....

I notice that GM was left foot braking and flat shifting on the up and obviously blipping the throttle with the down shift....just like he does in a V8 Supercar. The whole clip is pretty much clutchless....which i personally like being a left foot braker myself

He looks very comfortable in the car, and seems to settle quickly. The gear changes are very slick and smooth.

I think too that the Orix car was also left foot braking, especially down into T6. Where we were standing you could see the brakes lights come on before he'd backed off the throttle, there was a good 2 second delay between the brakes lights and the release of throttle, so maybe just modulating the throttle a wee bit into the sweeper, while keeping the car flat through the corner with his left foot.

Just an observation really
