Yah, if the good guys pass you on the inside of the corner, or do an "over under" move on you. Then you are driving too hot. Slow down a bit, tighten your lines, and hit a late apex.

I'm not an expert at 1/12th, but it makes me pay far more attention to throttle lift, turn in and how and when I apply the throttle. They all need to be balanced to get a tight line and fast laps.

I've found that faster laps are from going slow and driving a tight line rather then going faster and pushing wide. All that does is mess up the setup for the next corner an slow you down even more. Every race I take a few corners a bit faster. Once I am happy with those corners, I move on to the next series of corners to perfect that line. Halfway though my first season in 1/12th and I'm happy with about 2/3rds of the corners on my track.

The most important corner on the track is the one right before the longest straight, then down from there depending upon the length of the straight after each corner. You can loose the most time by getting off a corner slow. When there are some infield esses on a track, you will see the fast guys eat up 20 feet on the slower cars. Getting that right is also important.

My average lap times have come down about 1/2 second, but the major improvement has been in consistency. My worst laps have come down by about 2-3 seconds since the start of the season. All that and I'm still 5-7 laps off the fastest pace. But then, there are a few factory sponsored guys who I race with on occasion and my batts are only average.
