Certainly not always the fastest way. The fastest way around a 180 u-turn is not a straight line to the wall end. Last month’s course also had a deceptive slow 90+ corner where the best line was not the shortest. In fact, it was your video that showed me that the wider line was better. Not sure where you are going with this one.
I think your opinion of what a high horsepower course is and mine differ greatly…so be it. I happen to have a high horsepower car and remember one turn that was barely fast. How do you know if you have 168 horses yourself? Are you thinking STi’s and Evo’s with 4 wheel drive are the same as our cars here, just point, turn and go?
