The principles of race driving are like laws of physics, highly unlikely to
change.
There is NO SUCH THING as Fast IN / Fast OUT.  There are three choices,
Fast IN/ Slow OUT,  Slow IN / Fast OUT and Slow IN / Slow OUT. It depends
upon the turn, the turn before and after, the apex(s), traffic and the size
of your balls.

You can count on this to take you to either the winners circle, the pits,
the hospital or the morgue.

     Can you just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off this
     commercial?
     Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe .
     Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video
     steal
     the show.A  Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various
     ages out
     of storage, flew them around the world and filmed them running
     through the
     streets of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu and Monaco.
     No computer graphics, these are the original cars on the original
     streets.
     The best part is the sound from the basso-profundo notes of the
     early,
     front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with
     the
     wail of a modern F1 car.
     There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!
