I've always been told not to use the inside curbing through turn 5... I might have to give it a try the next time I'm out and see how it goes. I could use every last bit of speed I can get in my underpowered car to get up that hill.
I think you have to in momentum cars. Just make sure you have some throttle over it and it’s not too bad. The fear is if you get to much of it then you can kinda ricochet off it which puts you too wide on exit where there is a section of curbing that can hook your right rear. I’ve seen that pull someone into that outside wall and it wasn’t good.
This impresses me as a class that requires superior drivers to qualify and finish well. I would think drafting would be great in these cars, but I see very little slip-streaming. 9:00 That's what happens if you don't draft correctly and can't get the job done before the next corner so you can get back on the line.
Nice drive. Like the Derek Daly helmet vibe!
Thanks! Only saw your comment a year later. ;-)
That was intense man, excellent job. God bless you
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it

Good observation for sure. Some tracks are more critical to draft at than others. RA it matters but not as much as places like VIR or Road America
@garyglanger5119 At Road America, there are three locations where good drafting is essential. I have no idea about VIR.
