Buttonwillow cw133/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Sunset isn’t a particular hard corner, but it gets in your head, which is why it is even more important to stay calm, brake early and throttle at the apex, nice and smooth. Here is a clip of me driving the Corvette from Bus Stop to the exit of Riverside: Do not attempt to save the slide if you’re heading off course. Minimum speed is a great metric to log in this section, remember to be smooth here, and use the banked turn to slow the car if need be.Īnd for gods sake, don’t lift completely or the wrong end will lead in front of you, and if you must go off, go off in a straight line. As most cars can perform maintenance throttle throughout the corner. There is no perfect area to get back on throttle here. Of course the lack of aero on that car has other plans for me most of the time. ![]() The line shown below is what I attempt to do in the Corvette. (your results may vary due to suspension tuning and balance) however, if you the same car and slap a wing on the back it should be able to take the corner flat out. This turns speed is greatly affected by your cars down-force package, a good example is S2000’s without Aero (large rear wing) can not take this corner flat out on 200TW tires. Some cars that may not have the turn in capability may need to move left as they brake in order to make the corner wider. You then will shout out with the highest longitudinal G force acceleration of anywhere on the track, I logged 0.45G in the s2k and 0.65G in the C7. This will make it possible keep the rear end under control as you shoot out of the corner, if you do this right, it feels like your car is glued to the ground. Timing is crucial here if you want to maintain momentum and get on throttle early, you must feel when the suspension sets (that feeling you get when the rebound is keeping the shock down), and get on throttle before the camber changes. I personally begin braking at the kink and trail into the corner, placing the car on the inside curbing, there is a little extra camber and a slightly different asphalt that will give you extra grip if you hit it “just right”. The goal here is to carry as much seed as possible (duh) while being able to get on throttle early (also duh) However, its the approach that makes these goals entirely complex. This section is extremely complex and can have multiple approaches depending on your cars set up. ![]()
