Russell, you can, presuming your car will rotate smoothly thru 5. Again, the "bowl" efect really helps hold most cars here IMO. A lot of folks FEEL as if their car will lose control, but in reality it won't unless they surprise it here. It is very fast, and, as George said, a lot of folks give up way too much time here by driving out and then back. When you drive that section clockwise, see how well it works as a double apex sweeper. In reality, it works as such going CCW as well.

Generally? Shouldn't that be a yes or no answer? Somehow I doubt that you've sat down with someone and reviewed data about specific t5 lines, but since we're online it's not like we can tell if you're telling the truth or not. Just sounds like a BS answer if you ask me...

Why don't you ask Mr. Cervelli why he chose that line in the video where he set a track record? How many track records have you set at TWS? Geezus...
Oh, and by the way, no it won't be yes or no because (a) track conditions change, (b) cars change (c) tire conditions change (d) et cetera.
What is it with you children? Don't you have homework to do?

BTW - If anyone is going to the nasa race @ MSR-Houston this weekend, I am available for coaching. If you are one of DLS' customers I'll do it for free 
On a more serious note, I will have my lap top with MoTeC, Stack, AIM, RaceTech, Traqmate, and *barf* G2X software.. I can navigate all pretty well if anyone needs any free data analysis.

Well, guess what, Greg? I didn't ask you, and no one else did either. And I really could not care less what you doubt. I have indeed reviewed said data, whether you choose to believe it or not.

Nope.
But he sure as **** is a lot faster than you, Big Bird.
Your jealousy is palpable. Sorry no one is willing to pay you for your "expertise", such as it is. Heck, even your few friends are puzzled at your disturbing obsession with me, which leads you to follow me to several other web sites besides this one.

What is the preferred miata line (fast laps, not defensive laps) through T5/6? I've been displacing the T5 apex by just about a half car width there (inside the 'seam'), but I have only driven a miata there once and will be the first to admit that I don't know **** about it.

You guys are debating the trade off between shorter distance vs. carrying speed into T6. But what about throttle %? I've always assumed that by NOT displacing the apex, and giving the car a straighter line to T6 turn-in, you can stay on the gas longer and harder, which translates into both shorter distance AND speed. ?????
I need to get a traqmate and test this theory out.
