you bet....
I started using the carousel as a quick passing place with a clear strategy - give up the turn but give the overtaking car the inside line. That means they have a shorter line and more camber and (with luck) can just sail by --- fast. In Red & Black it mostly works. I went out to coach a friend in white and, well, it didn't work so well. I finally did the scooting (which messed up our lead/follow). My "MO" is to have constant "360 deg scan" going on. Some of those cars are vastly faster. Of course when i lift and/or brake to help it looks even more dramatic :-)

I tried to give chase, and closed the gap a bit in 6/7/8, but between 9 and 10 they just flew off into the distance like riders into the sunset. Oh well :-)

Will I see you at VIR? How about the solo event at WGI in Sept?
