One of the interesting things that came out of the broadcast was just how many laps each of the top guys do at these tracks on average over 1000! I am a big believer in setup helping to give you confidence to go faster, but at the end of the day you really need to pound out the laps, find the little differences in line, corner entry and exit that can make a significant difference to lap times.
Take our latest track for example, Mid Ohio. It's a new track layout for me and I know that my line, braking points, etc, are costing me significant time, so far I have done a total of 49 laps, maybe less than 1/2 are complete racing laps. Without having a fast guy in front of you to follow, or live on screen timing deltas, it can sometimes be hard to learn track secrets.
