Choosing the best lines around the racetrack

[bwhip]

At trackdays I've seen some riders looking pretty confused about which lines to take around the track. I decided to write an article for the MCADX e-zine about what I've learned over the last few years about how to choose the best lines for speed and safety. I hope it's helpful!

Good article for faster riders. The race line is for race pace. But it irks me when slower riders think they're going fast and use the whole track or race line when they don't necessarily have to do so. They're only lining themselves up for an asspacking.

This probably depends on how the trackday provider separates riders by ability level into sessions. I think I'd rather be out there with slower people taking correct, consistent lines that I can anticipate and safely navigate around at high speed, than weird, unpredictable ones that will put us both at risk.
