Hi Guys,
I'll be having my first real race this weekend with the car nearly properly adjusted for me (driving position). I'll be racing Mont-Tremblant, my home track. I've been racing sedans for all my life, mainly Porsches (944's and 911's) and one GT4 car. I have a fair amount of races under my belt, but the last few years I did not race a lot and the competition was thin to non existent. I got sleepy in my driving.
I do really drive over the curbs and in 3 corners, I always put the inside wheel in the grass. Some curbs at Mont-Tremblant are really high (the esses and turn #10). I've tested in July there and the car can climb these without hitting/touching, except one.
Does climbing on these high curbs upset the aero balance? I have the carbon aero package on the car. And I'm, for the moment, fairly slow anyway as I've never really driven an aero car. I'm looking to get up to speed during this weekend.
Do you recommend staying off the high curbs? Any other tricks?
Thanks.
