DwD 0659: Racing in Slower Cars is GREAT We often hear discussion about racing/driving on track in faster cars. Especially concerning is when the person talking is relatively new to high performance driving and/or racing. Ben and Bill discuss many of the advantages of racing in slower cars. A central point in racing and high performance driving is getting close to the limit of the vehicle on the surface at every moment.

DwD 0645: Curbs – Friend or Foe and How to "Use" Them
DwD 0645: Curbs – Friend or Foe and How to "Use" Them Ben is mildly obsessed with passing and speed on the track. One aspect of the track that we haven't ever really discussed in detail is the presence of curbs at certain locations around the track, mostly at corner entry, exit and the apex. Some can be friendly, others not so much. We discuss options and precautions during the episode, but most definitely remember that all curbs are not the same.

So, if you are a non-data person or have one you race with, this may be a great episode in utilizing data to improve.
