Taking the inside line after the front straight makes the car feel more planted to me. It seems to me that the track is slightly off camber on the outside line. I have some tuning to do on the suspension and set up on the car. It has considerable understeer in slower corners. I use throttle lift to get some front end traction, initiate car rotation and transition into over-steer. This helps get the car pointed where I want it. This may not be the fastest way but It fun doing it. I observed the same as Jack where I would gain a on cars that took the outside line. Sometimes the optimal line is not the best due to track camber issues. I have not looked at corner exit speeds they may be comparable in either line but if you are catching other cars and exiting with similar speed then you should have a slightly lower time around the track. Did anyone compare sector times there?
