I have improved my car and lap times mostly over the years through focussing on tyres, brakes, suspension etc.

Also ensure prior to heading to the track that you do a "bolt check" and "safety check" and "fluids check" on your car.

Good advice there. You must spanner your car and check all suspension, wheels and tyres for safety. Scrutineering will check your brake pedal, wheel bearings and general safety like brake lights but they do not look under the car or check that your suspension and chassis bolts etc are tight, nothing worn under the car, wheels are not damaged inside, etc. This is up to you.
