Is there a track you will NOT drive with RTR?

Jack, I'd love to hear more about "the conventional line is dead wrong on many of its corners."

Chris,

I'll be covering this in detail in my "Anatomy of the Track" classroom session on Sunday am. You, and anyone, are more than welcome to sit in.

However, in the meantime, watch this 2 lap video, courtesy of Mr. Turgeon, that I've editted for instruction purposes. He's taking the video, I'm the car in front.

Notice how many corners where we do not take the typical "edge of track - apex - edge of track" line. Specifically:

- the left hand esse immediately after pit out
- the Pistol Grip
- the left hander at the top of the hill after the carousel
- the 180 at the end of the back straight

The reason for each of these non-traditional lines is slightly different, and a bit too long to get into here, but the video shows you the correct approach to each of these corners.

Take care,
Jack
