Bob,
Do you think the race line being tighter earlier at the carousal is the faster way through there and are you gaining a rotational advantage (rear engine) that I am not with my front engine.
I felt by staying out a little and bringing it in, straightened out the early part of the corner and allowed for earlier power. I am flat in forth at about the access road. The same can be said for T-6 where I didn't feel like I could get into the power as early if I was tight left upon entry. I know this is the protection line, but wonder if it's the fastest.
Friday was a wet track with multiple different levels of grip, sealer, concrete, macadam and sealer on concrete. My car really bounces through T-7 and T-11. I was not happy with T-11 as this is like Oak tree for me, trying to maintain momentum while just barely resting my foot on the brake and rev matching, without getting tooo much brake.
