LOL Well then keep at it until you know the track! VIR is fucking awesome.
Go drive Laguna Seca if you want another great track. Lime Rock and Watkins Glen are two that are 'reasonably' close to me and I've driven those tracks a great deal. I doubt they have anything more than the NASCAR track in Loudon, New Hampshire. So, you probably can't race that one.
Seriously, Laguna Seca is so fucking awesome when you nail the corkscrew.
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
