won't disagree with what you are saying about different ways to approach T16 and T17 but I do want to add to it a little bit. In the first statement Dave made the comment of Jordan uses a late brake out of T16 for T17. This is correct that it is a late brake from what the traditional or DE line would be. But it is not a late brake like a lot of us think a late brake it is. By initial thoughts a late brake would be to wait until the last second and give a good stab of the brake pedal to slow the car down. This does not work in HogPen. What works in a well balanced car, even a Porsche, is use the section of the track from T15 to T16 as a straight. Be full throttle or as close to it as you can. Before the turn in for T16 breathe off the throttle and lightly scrub the brakes from T16 to entry to T17. Try to make this as straight of a line between the turn in for T16 and turn in for T17 as possible. Before you turn in for T17 have all your light braking done, the car slowed enough so when you turn in for T17 you are almost ready to go to power and get to throttle as soon as you can in T17. Use the track coming out and keep your eyes up as far as you can to see how T17 connects to the front straight. You will see that you don't need as much steering as you first think as Dave pointed out.
