Also remember this is a vehicle that gets it's speed by carrying momentum. Always try to break, and accelerate while the steering wheel is straight (read not in the middle of a turn).

Yes, good catch. There is a large banked high speed turn on the long track. There is a "cloverleaf" on the short track that is hard on tires as well. The track I go to is Brainerd International Raceway.

I am going to need to re-learn the track with the new car. My old car could not go in fast, but I could put the power down very well coming out of the corners. I suspect I will be going in to corners faster and carrying more speed with the BRZ.
