Good article btw about Krause.

This is a recent article that actually makes a good case for the speed limits.

This one here that's quite recent that's an interview by Jack Baruth is worth a read: http://www.motorsport-safety.org/med...its-track-days


If you want to increase your safety at the track without increasing your safety equipment you should do 2 things to self limit: A) ditch the sticky tires and put on all-seasons and B) limit your own straight line speed.

The speed limiting means you're not ending the braking zone at the end of the straight at insane speed and the all-seasons means you cannot go through the corners at nearly the speed of something like an RS3 or RC1. Plus lower grip will make you a better driver.

Still recommend that rollbar though.
