You just got to love the lines, especially in 2, 9 and 11.

That is pretty much the line we teach students for Laguna. |

QUOTE(DanT @ Feb 7 2011, 05:54 PM)  pretty much TimeTrial lines....not race lines...going for the smoothest latest apex on all of them.. That is pretty much the line we teach students for Laguna. Hey Dan, I ran the track for a whole week-end a few years back in my Porsche 944S2 and LOVED the track....the best in North America! It sure beats Riverside, Ontario, Willow Springs, Phoenix, et al. In watching the footage, I was surprised how FEW gear changes Van Overbeek was doing... possibly to "save the machinery." Later in the event he was using more gears and more revs. I'm very interested in you comment about "time Trial Lines." The only spots I would critique were T-2, using the double-Apex (with running wide in the middle)which would let a competitor get under him. In my 944, I found a tighter line with a single late apex worked best. The only other spot would be T-9 after the down hill run from the Cork Screw where I think he could have used a wider entry to increase the driven radius. What are your views? Terry |
