Also you notice the concrete along side of the track all the way around. |
I went as hard as I could and got all we had. |
It is really bumpy, you can imagine coming through here at a hundred (miles per hour). There is another big dip right here under braking (after the exit of turn 7 and entering turn 8). Not a lot of run off here. |
Notice how the wall angles out towards us. |
Now we get into the part of the track I call the rhythm section turns 4, 5 and 6. Hard, hard braking here as we go down to 3rd gear, it might even be second. |
So I am excited, yes. The emotions and your fortunes just swing wildly in this sport. |
This corner has several different apexes. It is good for passing. You can enter tight or you can enter wide and try to cross over your buddy and super late apex it over here. |
This is another blind turn. There are a lot of blind turns on this track, especially when your eyeballs are only 25 inches off the ground! |
This is the 3rd longest straightaway on the track. You can see that this is a bumpy track. |
This is turn 8 and 9, you want to take them in one big arc. |
This is turn one and you want to keep the car tidy out of the turn and take it out to about here. It is a 3rd gear corner. |
This turn is a tough turn is a tough turn because it is actually slower than it looks. It is a dead hard 90. If you take it too fast you really can't take advantage of the run off area. |
We're really thrilled right now. We have a really good shot at a win if not a podium. |
You bring it over and hold it tight and take 5 and 6 together in one big arc. |
You can even let the car drift out because you have to set up for the turn 5. |
