The Perfect Corner 2: A Driver's Step-by-Step Guide to Optimizing Complex Sections Through the Physics of Racing

by Adam Brouillard, Paradigm Shift Driver Development (Created by)

Overview

Learn how the physics of racing can be applied to advanced track sections. We show you the rules needed for double apexes and chicanes, as well as how to link them in complex sequences. Plus you’ll learn the surprising science of optimizing straights.  
 
Finally, the last section will really put you to the test as we break down some of the most complex corner sequences in the world. If you can solve these puzzles, you will understand how to drive anything.  
 
Learn how there is no such thing as a throwaway corner and how every single section of a track can be driven to perfection.
