In case anyone hasn't noticed our race will be on the Fosters Circuit layout, this is the short one without the hairpins (1.66 mls) May be something to do with the Legends racing needing the short circuit ? I don't recall ever having done this layout in the past.
Absolutely! I recall once hearing brakes locked up on my right side just before I turned into Fosters and decided to go straight on. Lucky because the late-breaker and I then went grass-tracking instead of him T-boning me. H'
So now having had a better look at the circuit map I am assuming that we do not use Hislops (Knicerbrook) chicane when on the Fosters circuit so the exit is straight onto Knickerbrook and up the hill. In which case the hairpin looks like it's the Apex in the centre of Fosters, correct ? Looks like I'll be off to a CoC new circuit briefing then
The 'hairpin' is Fosters, you do miss the Hislop chicane, so exit from Knickerbrook is a tad faster than on the longer circuits. So you probably arrive at Druids going a little quicker than before - be warned!!!!
Harty is right about the first (and other) lap potential for 'last of the late braker' action into Fosters.
