Thunderbolt Raceway Line and Video

It's a tricky combination of turns.  You can carry plenty of speed through T4 and track out all the way (a la T4 at Summit Main), but that might leave you short on T5, braking too hard to navigate the tighter corner, which is followed by quite a long straight.  You could track out left and reset to the right, but IMO that might upset the suspension a bit, because there's not a ton of room there to move from full track left to full track right before turn-in for 5.

Thought it interesting that it looked like the Rolex DP and GT cars both took T4 fast, tracked out 3/4 left and stayed there through the braking zone, with what looked like a little trail brake, into T5, allowing them to try to pass inside (or defend inside) on T5.

Can't wait to get back there and try that, along with Greg's line.

Nothing like experimenting on a new track!
