Do you drift through the corkscrew?
No, no... Drifting slows you down. Any time you hear the tires squealing, you're losing speed. (Sometimes you'll scrub tires and lose speed intentionally, but it's seldom the best way through.)
You start off on the outside, tuck it in early, and then punch it as you're cutting your wheel back to the right. Your ass end will get a little loose, but it's fun. I don't know if games can really replicate that.
You also have your 'local' track. Road America is not too far from you.
No it is not far from me at all, not even an hours drive.
When I am in the sim I can maintain speed through the corners if I whip the back end out over braking in the turn. Though I am not a race car driver. I just drive my Jaguar and she is a nice kitty who is very nice to me
In reality, that kind of driving eats your tires in just a few laps - even on the harder compounds. Tire management is one of the most important things you'll deal with on a course,
