It's cool isn't it? I like it because I can see all the way up to turn 3 earlier so I'm more comfortable getting on the throttle sooner.

^ is right!!

although depending on the car, it could be a single...not in an S2000, and i suspect NSX....too light.

i think james single's it...but he's pushing a 1000 more pounds.

nailing 2 is the best feeling on that track...everywhere else is nice, but 2 makes or breaks your lap.

I have my doubts as to whether it's faster too.
unequivocally, no.

well, yeah, the inside into any corner is the defensive line...but we weren't racin'.

no, not really....turn 2 is all about load transfer....

the S2000 drifts out 10 feet, and tucks back in 10 feet without touching the wheel.....a perfect arc....all on it's own....at good speed too.

of course this is all at double-apex speeds....i could not take 2 at the same speed using a single apex....i'd be in the weeds.

i could do it going slower, but that's not the point.

at first when i singled it I was shitting my pants, but when I just rode through it and the back end of the turn came right inline with what a double apex looks like, i was like HELL YA!

It felt faster too. But Im not going to try to do it that often

I love 4. 4 is my fav now. Used to be 8/9/10 - I was feeling awesome in 4, safe too. Once you get the car in the right spot and pointed the right way, it felt like a bobsled to me. Hit the gas at the top on the hill and hammer all the way down...I was 160-165 over 90% of the laps through there...what an awesome feeling when you nail that....

I'm exiting 2 quicker with a single-apex so it works for me right now. Mind you, I wouldn't have dared trying that line at speed with the G35.

ok, again, not seeing this either....you can't RIDE through it and be faster since you're ON the gas when you double it.

can you guys not point this shit out to me when we're AT THE TRACK?????

By ride through it I mean that I went with it - not that I coasted.

Basically I was just a little late on my first turn in. It was wicked.

Also on the gas when you single-apex...and you have a wider arc. I've never been on a track with you.
