Ramping off the banked oval and landing on the back straight.

Overshooting turn 6 would send you down an embankment onto the straight between turn 1 and 2. And if by some chance... you were to go off the right side of the track between turn 1 and 2... there are trees. I think turn 6 is my biggest worry, though.

There just isn't a lot of margin for error as the track stands now - I guess that's my worry.

so if i were to play on turns 3/4/5 and simply cruise through turn 6 for sure and then feel out turns 1 and 2, that might make for a fun day you think?

of course all this depends on whether everything is finished on the 240 or not. already halfway complete, but still a few things to go.

well for now they have been holding. for now. otherwise i have been working on getting a suspension setup that actually works. hopefully i can get some welding done on the intercooler pipes so the couplers wont pop off under heavy boost.

BTW: thanks for the pic dorimon

anytime!

and yeah turns 3, 4, and 5 are def. the highlights of the track! Turn 2 is fun but tricky! but yeah if you are just starting id say stay away from turn 6 and 2 and stay straight on the back stretch between 1 & 2!

Well said... turn 6 will end the life of your car... I saw a hatchi almost go off on that turn....

Also 1 can be the worst if your coming to hot and understeer....
