Sorry I couldnt help.

No problem. I went to the Traqmate site and they have now started posting the coordinates to alot of the tracks so I picked it up there.

Forza is a good tool for learning the flow of the track. I have used it for several tracks we go to. Also some of the inside tricks to Road Atlanta can't be used on Forza.

As for the curbs, they can definitely be used in the 3 and 10. There is a secret to hitting them so it isn't too harsh on your suspension.

You can run over 3 curbs in turn 5 alone! And even in 7 it's pretty smooth after the repave. For the RA rookies the curbing in 10A and B is sort of unique, it gets progressively rougher the further you are from the ashphalt.
<=== another take on turn 3
I'll be there, too, running slowly in 5 and probably instructing in group 2

Maybe I'll be lucky and get you!
I always prefer an instructor (and prefer instructing a student) who has a similar car.

Peachstate PCA will try to put an instructor and student with similar/same cars together.

I'll be there next week too.

Turn 3 curbing really throws my car off. I think Forza is going off of what it was before the repave, the curbing at 3 was exactly like it is on forza, you could use the whole thing, easily.
