The course is pretty much the same for every Phase 1. Insanely long slalom going up, a 180 around a tight skid pad, 90 degree turn into a chicago box then a final sweeper into the finish. Great way to practice looking ahead, slalom timing, being patient, understanding the grip of your car, car placement and not getting psyched out by seeing tons of cones at a corner. I dropped 2 seconds off my baseline run by the end of the day but more importantly it was a good refresher for "looking ahead" which is such a fundamental skill for the sport it's really funny that it's one of the things I actually have to remind myself to do even to this day. Regardless of what car you drive and how you mod it, seat time, seat time and more seat time...only way to improve.
