    Draft is HUGE at Road America. If you watch the videos you can see my car get sucked into it goign into T1. Draft of two cars is even bigger. (Having used a multi car draft to pass two BMW CR J-Stock cars at once going into big bend at LRP, at RdAm it's even more crucial. )

    That said, even having the highest trap speeds didn't help catching the Audi who was still 1.5 seconds a lap faster without being pressured, and it was a lot of work keeping up with the Evo that just *rockets* out of those square corners.

    And that's in the dry!

    Wait until it rains and you are on a "stoppy starty" track.

    I hate to say it but you probably need a AWD turbo car to win that class (I hope I'm wrong)

    I hope you'll be able to run down Mark Hoover. He might not be AWD, but he's got the boost. Also, I hope the STAC is open to reducing the size of the TIR too, when all NA cars can't even podium.

    I think the EVO would be a ringer in the wet.
