Balancing Min Distance vs Max Speed

DwD 0392:  Balancing Min Distance vs Max Speed

On this week’s Dominating with Dawson, we start a discussion on the competing priorities of maximizing speed and minimizing distance.  Obviously, balancing these will lead to the fastest lap times, but some areas of a track or sequences of a track will be optimized by sacrificing one or the other in certain areas to reduce lap time.  This concept is more often spoken about in autocross but applies to road courses as well.  This is especially challenging when you are at a track for the first time.
