Sometime you think you have the right line and it's really not it. =) |

By special I mean no pro techniques at all, that helps lowering the time. Althought feinting really helps, if you want to lower your time, basic downshifting while steering is way enough. And because the cap slides a lot, turn before it seems the time to just with basic techniques you could pull off a 2'54 2'53 around. *noitangidni* If you wanna practice over that right hander, brake way more than you need to just to get a clean exit first. Don't even think of using the gutter yet if you got trouble over there. Think of a clean exit, then work on your speed . This post has been edited by Nero on Feb 14 2006, 09:14 AM |
