Message I understand most "schools" will be teaching the "high" line. It is a very "capable" line, as far as fast lap times are concerned.

However, there are a few things that make me change the way i drive this particular car through the T1-T2 complex.

- Aero - This plays a very large part in the speed you can carry down into T1. Because of the considerable downforce provided by the HUGE wing mounted on the car, the rear of the car is very very stable. This allows me to carry more speed in, brake later, and turn in earlier. Now if only the power wouldnt cut out because of fuel cavatation, I could probably obtain another 3-5mph on that short chute.

- Power band - Because of the small amounts of "lag" i'm able to get the car turned in early, after my braking point, and get on the power early. I am literally able to turn in, and roll back to nearly 90% throttle through the "early" apex of T2. By the time the upper RPM power hits (on the exit) I'm nearly straight. This no only cuts DISTANCE off the turn, but allows nearly an identical exit speed.

I hope this is comprehendable :P I've had a few beers..
