Zooming In
Segments
Generally, it is best to be “Slow In, Fast Out”, especially if there is a long straight after the turn in
question. That faster exit speed will compound over the entire distance of the straight. Segments
are the perfect way to test entrance speed vs. exit speed. If you are entering a long complex of
curves, it may be smart to be Fast In, Slow Out. The best way to determine this is to create two
segments on consecutive sections of the track. This way you can see if sacrificing entrance
speed on one section leads to commensurate gains on the next section.
Sometimes entrance and exit speed can be deceiving. Segment Analysis can also show you the
real story. In this diagram, taking the long way around results in higher speeds but longer times.
