I have to admit, the 180 at the end was pretty cool.

Wow. Austin is a great driver and I am sometimes able to see him in action at the track. I have always wondered why they whip the car, but now I know that it is done to help set up for the next corner. This is a very interesting thread and I will subscribe to it!

I find it very useful for setting up turns after a jump. Helps with the weight transfer and increases corner speed. But it does depend on the jump/ turn.

Anthony Mazzara setting up for a 90* right hander. Took me a good 10 laps before I was able to nail this shot.
