Steve,

Doing Kojete next week. Group52 and Trackmasters at the end of the month.

Could not fit in Povoledo...he gives a great track walk though his line is a bit too aggressive for me, wimp I know, in spots.

Hahahaha! Umm, no, IMO, on the "wimp" part.

AP gives a great walk, and I have tons of pro data for him which shows his talent, but more so, his extreme commitment.

While I think all drivers can benefit from AP's (and most other pro's) "use all the width of the track/curbs/grass, unless there is a compelling reason not to," his early left in the Esses and mostly his "kiss the wall under the bridge at the exit of 11" is a bit too much for me.

It's all good, until something goes wrong.. Good to leave some margin. Like 12" instead of 4"-6"!

Agreed. Racing for money is o e thing, but for DE or club racing, leave a margin for safety.

In the TA2 car, we have to touch up the mirrors every few races from scraping exit walls!

Aaron is very quick. I agree with him about using a lot of exit real estate in 11, but think he is about a foot too early in the Esses with the new grippier pavement...
