Autobahn Country Club North Track, Secret Fast Line Through Turn 1 & 2 http://www.separationofcontrols.com Compromise the slower corner for the faster one; turn 1 at Autobahn Country Club North is 85mph apex speed at 1G cornering—significantly fast—and time is saved by maximizing the effective radius (Largest Possible Radius, LPR) and sacrificing a "traditional" line through turn 2, the slowest corner on North Circuit. 99% of drivers take a "traditional" left-side entry, late apex to turn 1, costing time. Watch as the Porsche ahead compromises N1 to set up a traditional turn-in for N2, sacrificing the LPR in N1, and we gain significantly, retaining that time gain through to N3. Conclusion: Maximize your performance through faster corners even compromising a slower corner if that's what it takes. The most important corner on any given circuit is the fastest corner (assuming you're grip limited).
