Thats where im going hahaha.. was gonna try and make this Sunday but I dont think ill have everything I need.
I have a racing sim I use for new tracks and whatnot and ive been spending a lot of time on there, I was there in a mustang race car in 2011 I don't know if well be able to get thru turn 1 and 11 wide open or not? depends largely on skill level too id assume seems like you sort of hold it to the left side out of turn 3 to dive into 4 and careful w throttle application off turn 4 turn 6 is sharper than a 90degree turn and should be treated accordingly, I sort of approach it like a hairpin. turn 8 is a standard hairpin last but not least, try to get thru the last chicane (13/14) as straight as possible and careful w the throttle off 14. |

Ive never ran a PDG. What stands out to me at homestead really is how careful I have to be w the gas in turn 3/4 and 14, and paying attention to how sharp turn 6 is. Where are you out of in FL? what tracks do you run? |

My best tip for Homestead is: Go to Sebring instead.

I was at Homestead 2 weeks ago, my second time tracking there. My 1LE felt great. There was a nice Porsche that got totaled unfortunately after turn 1. In their December event Henry said there were 3 crashes!
What I do like about Homestead, at least with PDG, the garages are open to everyone, first come first serve. I do plan to do Palm Beach on 2/29 with Hooked on Driving https://youtu.be/15aUZioiyQ4 |
