I have a track specific question, the track I go to is somewhat L shaped. At both ends of the L, there is a sharp low speed corner that then goes up a steep hill. I just can't climb the hill as well as most cars. What would be a good solution besides getting another car?

What I tried lately is to turn in late so I can take a straight line through the apex and then go up the hill. Seems to work better if I don't have to turn the wheels until later going up the hill. I am below 4k rpm in 3rd gear maybe going between 40 and 50 mph at the slowest and just don't have the torque at the low end to accelerate better. Going to 2nd does not seem to work since I feel I am losing time and also banging the transmission more than I like. In the flatter corners, I seem to running with most cars unless the drivers are really experienced.

This if for PDE and not doing any racing. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have a JRSC and PSS tires. I am going to talk to my tuner and see if anything can be improved from that end if that could help.

Thanks in advance.
