Could i get someone to give me a few tricks or tips on how to get around Michigan with 37.5?? lap time?
I cant seem to get under 38.1s and 2s,..iv tried diffrent setups,..but i dont think its the setup,..i think its the way i'm driving. Some of you guys that are getting 37.5s and 6s,..would you explaine to me how your driving the track to get those times? Thanks.

I know one thing about Michigan is that alot times you can drive way too hot into the corners without realizing it. I started getting faster at Michigan by letting off the gas alot earlier than I would've thought, and it makes driving through the turn alot smoother and easier and lets you get back on the gas quicker.

I've also noticed letting off early makes you faster, because you can stick to the low side of the turns instead of drifting up the track.

ive also noticed that if you have another car driving in front of you, if you stay really close to his back bumper, the two of you can go faster than you would be able to go if you were alone on the track. i believe the term is drafting. fastest ive done alone on the track recently is mid to high sixes, but wont be using that gear tonight. according to the results from our preseason race here, .800 is a good time to shoot for, or maybe im just way off the pace, guess we'll see soon. lol
