That's true but CW gives you that same corner 2/1 as a high speed entry to the straight some great speed and a technical landing. Also 11 becomes a sweep into a straight line in 10 to the apex then 6/5 is a great throttle steer combo with a single arc.

Cross post. Here is a 2:09 lap from this past weekend. Keith Verges in a Radical SR8. Damn.

The amount of grip that car has is mind numbing. Wow!

Then a final dinner Sunday night and everyone can run home Monday. To do this I need 30 great drivers that all play well together, not sure about costs yet but we will have hotels And an open format. Three great tracks in one week all for probably less than a one day ticket to COTA.
BADASS!!!

Actually, Steve, it is true...the banking feeds you right in to T15...only faster

Thanks for putting TWS together, I hope you get your car sorted out.

The Chicago folks had a great time and look forward to coming back.

Yeah, and 5-6 turns into one big sweeper when you're going CW. Apex 6, set and forget your hands, and get to gas. Exiting 6-5 you're cooking and the car is in a beautiful four-wheel drift.

Cars+Track+Beers+Good Company = FUN!

I look forward to coming back to Texas. I wish we had more time to hang out and check out some of those famous BBQ places. I think a TWS and NOLA is a great combo!
