The chicane in use, which I forgot about so assumed was the bust stop, was a pathetic, dicky thing in the left-hander of the esses.The boot without chicane would be more representative. « Last Edit: June 20, 2018, 05:04:32 PM by Bacchulum » Logged 2+2=√16 Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: S22R7: United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen « Reply #9 on: June 20, 2018, 06:11:53 PM » Updated first point with all the details.

What do the engineers in here suggest? Lower the suspensions and take a bit of wing off?
