While watching a World Challenge event at a roval, the "color man" said that the proper line through the banked turns of a roval isn't to take the classic road racing apex line, but instead you want to hold your position relative to the edges of the track through the turn.

I've been reading some of the "hot lap" guides for some rovals. These seem to indicate that one does drop down in the banked turns of the roval.

So which is it? Does it depend on the car? I drive an ITC Honda and my thinking is that there is no way I'm going to be carrying enough speed in a 22 degree banked turn to have a need to make a wide arc of the turn. I'll be so far inside the envelope of the handling that the only thing a classic line does is increase the distance need to drive.
