Not Ranked
Hi Scott,
I have found that it is better to give up a little entry speed on 9 to gain speed on the straight.
This is not a seat of the pants thing. It came through telemetry readings in a FA car. (I know a Ralt and a Cobra are two entirely different beasts, but the psyhics are the same.)
We picked up .45 seconds a lap by reducing entry speed and allowing a early throttle pickup in 9.
(Now I know folks are going bring up things like trail braking, etc, etc. However, we did a bunch of testing and this works. Not to mention doing the same sort of thing in turn one. I seems that most folks brake way too early, and apex too early to get the proper speed through the turn and they sacifice exit speed.)
