Not sure I agree with the line you are using here. Corner 1, go in hotter and use ALL the track on exit. plenty of time to get the car back over to the left. 2- I like to hug it tighter but this line can work if you struggle with getting power down (street tires, high HP, 2wd) 3- good, late apex. 4- don't bother getting that far over to the right before 4, its extra distance you don't need. 4 should be able to stay flat really easy. 5-6, early apex and heavy trail brake. make 5-6 a V. 7- EARLY apex this. you can do this because there is actually a little bit of time before you get into the sweeping right hander (turn 8) 8-9 stay left and right at the edge of track a little longer than you are in the video. getting 8 right is very critical so you can stay flat into and through 9. let the car push all the way out after 9 right before you come into 10b. 10b- 2 lines here and will vary depending on the car. You can late apex this but getting the braking just right here is difficult as you head down hill. miss judge this and you'll be sliding down hill. the more consistent line I think is to stay a little tighter through this corner. 11- standard corner, nothing special to it.

Thanks for your input; there is certainly more than one "line" one can take, but this felt right for us. Do be sure to watch the video with sound as, for example, your turn 1 suggestion is agreed with in the voiceover.

I’m with you on these comments. Drove this track for the first time last October (just posted a video) and this guys video has several times where they went too early into the apex.

Thanks for all the tips. What hardware software do you use for the telemetry

[@SonsofSpeed]

Noel Selewa it comes with the Corvette when you have the optional Performance Data Recorder.

How to find the line. You drive by the track. That's the line. That track sucks. Stop racing there 10 years ago. Mid Ohio is Number one.

I'm thinking about heading there at the end of June. It's between this track or Raceway Park Midlands - which one would you recommend?
