Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Sorry Fatih, but I do not agree with you at all. Each of the three turns have nothing in common save that they are all left handers. Nascar, the easiest IMHO, is a straightforward, fairly flat left hander with a straight runup and a predictable exit followed by a very short straight. It is probably the visual aspects of it that make it seem harder than it is.
Wagonbend (Summit T3) is a tricky corner that requires you to brake over a bump, bending gently to the left, and get on the power before you commit to the turn, because the hill will catch your car, and you do not want any rotation going into it. Otherwise the front will bite, and the back will slide. It is your consummate DE, brake straight corner. You cannot be timid here because there is a lot of time ot be lost if you are slow over the hill. South Bend (VIR T10) is by far the trickiest as it not only is the fastest, but you come in hot, with the car light, farther over to the left than is optimal. You have to get it slowed under control, but if you overbrake, it kills your momentum and your grip, and you have nothing going down the hill. If you over cook it, the runoff is not pretty. Just ask Rick DeMan.
