Faster lap times entering the sweeper properly. added: 01.07.2011

Associated with track: VRC Super Speedway Short

Use the front straight as an apex rather than pointing the car straight for a fast lap.
This sets you up much better for the sweeper.
It takes some time to develop the feel but has dropped 1/2 second off my laptimes.
As you exit turn 2 start tight on the inside and make one continuous arc towards the outside center of the straight, once mid staright arc back in toward the sweeper.
I hope this helps.

Andrew H	11.04.2012 [02:47] wow, i dropped my lap time by 1 sec with that setup. Thank you for posting it.
James H	24.02.2012 [22:06] Make sure your ride height is even front to back.. or even a touch lower on the rear. Toe in 3.5 degree rear, Toe out 1.5 Front. 8mm on the rear wing. This will create an understeering car in the slower technical sections that requires a bit of man handling, but if you get your braking just right.. it should float through the corners and be stable on the straights. At least these are my observations..
