Copse Corner
OK, I'm confused (doesn't take much).
I've been watching vids of FF1600's at Silverstone as I get myself all worked up for this years WHT (never driven the National circuit before, only Southern and Stowe). Most of it is straight forward and as I expected but Copse has got me thrown. Some drivers are dropping to 3rd before taking it, powering around and changing within a second or two of clearing it - others hang on in 4th. Watching the vids it seems that the 2nd approach is slower because the engine gets out of peak power, but it's the faster drivers doing it so clearly that isn't the whole story. What am I missing? Are the 3rd gear guys running a higher 3rd? I've only got Testing on Friday (best I could manage budget-wise) so I've got 2 sessions to sort this and the suspension
