Shenandoah allows a driver to learn car control technique. There are  a lot of places on the track where lift throttle car rotation and throttle steering the car is a necessary technique and the speeds where it can be learned are not at the triple digit level. This is one of my favorite tracks because several of the turns allow the driver to have the car at the limits of adhesion at moderate speeds. This track also has several turn combinations that require quick left to right or right to left transitions, which even further enhances one's driving skill set. The learning of good car control that is a universally applicable skill, no matter what track, no matter what speed.

I always hear about the line, and the line is going to make you able to go the fastest around the track (based on speed of the car turn radius, lateral acceleration forces) but when a late pass is made and your not on the line good car control skills will enable an experienced driver to not make an error when pressed for space to perform necessary braking and turning actions. When a drivers car control skills are refined  and they are on line they will ultimately go around the track fastest.

On a race track a driver needs to become part of the machine weather its a motor cycle a car go kart quad or snow mobile  knowing how the machine will behave with different forces being applied on it. It requires one to perform countless calculations almost subconsciously and to adapt to changes that may arise at any time that may change the available adhesion level. That is what is so great about what we do. When were out there were not thinking about work,$,politics,bills, or any thing else. It's pure focus on driving and trying improve and refine lap after lap. That is the essence of DE
