Apexes and Indians

As you’ll see on page 38, this issue marks the launch of yet another new column. One of my goals, for quite some time, has been to create a column that could offer some tangible, practical advice on how to properly drive some of the trickiest sections of the world’s greatest tracks. The key to achieving this was finding an organization that had the credibility and the depth of knowledge to take on this challenging task. After much searching, I’m very pleased to report that the Skip Barber Racing School has agreed to partner with us on this great project and so this month we present you the first monthly installment of “Hot Laps” presented by Skip Barber.

In this inaugural column, Barber senior instructor Bruce MacInnes will walk you through the do’s and don’ts of one of the most critical sections at Lime Rock Park, the Esses. In coming months, Bruce and other Barber instructors will give you their expert input on how to tackle everything from Laguna Seca’s Corkscrew to Silverstone’s Woodcote. It’s my hope that not only will you enjoy this new column, but that maybe it will help you lower your lap times, as well!
