August 19, 2007 - Turn one was a bit of a fast one.
As the day went on, I was starting to figure out how to drive the car better. The biggest trick was getting a good drive out of corners, and it led to me taking some different lines than I usually do in the little lightweight weapon. The Seven has a huge amount of traction, but in the Targa car I was taking wider lines to settle the rear down first. It was paying off, my fastest lap dropped to 1:07.977.
I've found a satellite picture of the track here . We were running counter-clockwise, and the big sweeper is the fun part. My goal is to start braking when my left front wheel hits the kerbing before the hairpin.
