The Racing Line section contains usefull information on car setup, tracks and driving techniques.
Sorry that this section isn't growing that fast. I have to admit that my time is a little limited at the moment. Lesson three on suspension is under way. We were sent a ton of info by Richard Duncan on supsension theory so once we've simplified it down, we'll post lesson three. I've also started to compile some track guides. The manuals do give a quick run through of the ciruits, however their not going to tell you how to get a fast lap! Thats up to you!

- NO.2 - TYRES, DONT FORGET YOUR RUBBERS.
A lot of people overlook the importance of tyres when racing.

- NO.3 - SUSPENSION, SPRINGS AND THINGS - COMING SOON!
TRACK GUIDES.
With 20,000 people visiting The Pits, finding time to race is pretty hard. Sadly we haven't had time to create more track guides, but those of you who have used the Watkins Glen guide have been very complimentary.
