Anyone is welcome to post, but after riding Summit Main yesterday and providing feedback I realized there are several key pieces of info I give people to improve there. These are items specific to riding at main, not general riding tips. N2 has more experience riding motorcycles on Summit Main than almost any other club, so I thought we could start a thread to provide what specific items of improvement have helped the most.
The one I kept talking to riders about yesterday is Turn 7. This corner in my opinion (I could be wrong) is the most important corner on this whole track. If taken properly, it can set you up to carry more speed all the way to Turn 1 which is 1/2 the track. The advice I give on this corner is to be patient and not turn in or apex early. You want to be right to the apex and come out on the right of the track to straighten out T8. This allows you to drive through T8 and carry that extra speed all the way to T1. If you turn in or apex too early, you will push wide to the left and T8 becomes more of a corner than just a little kink. T6/T7 is one of the slowest parts of this track, stay slow for an extra second or two if that is what it takes to get the drive out of T7 and through T8 all the way to T1.
What other areas of the track do others find significant to improving lap times? I know I struggle with T1/T2 and T5, so interested personally to know what others have found to work through those areas.
