One turn, many lines... an autocross saga.

[dtfastbear]

I set up a camcorder on a tripod pointed at a single turn for a run session or two last weekend to see try to capture the many different lines people used through the turn.

This was a PCA event at Candlestick Park last Saturday.

I'm driving the white 911 cab at the beginning and end of the clip. I personally think the best line through this right/left combo was to compromise the first turn by staying far to the [driver's] right and then turn in for a standard apex for the left, getting on the throttle early for the following straight.

There are some cool cars in this clip including a GT2 and a 356.

The second half of the clip is all spins and slides.

It is in REAL format and is 7mb.

Whaddaya think??

Nice!

While your last run was probably the most *proper*, the 2nd to last looked the coolest

Some of those guys were like "how to ya spell apex again" Not that I would do any better.

Thanks for posting, I always like your material.
