Why you must use the entire width of the track
July 18th, 2008Using the entire width of the track is basic race driver theory. From your local kart track to the Silverstone racing academy, it is taught without impunity and in Formula One, millimetre precision demonstrates excellence. And the idea is pretty simple - the more of the track you use, the more you square off the corner and the faster you go.
But you see, I was wondering: how much of a difference does it really make? If I turn into a corner with a foot to spare on my outside, what does that actually cost me?
