 At last someone hits the nail on the head! :) Apart from the obvious necessity for a good
setup and basic driving technique, the key to 27s at Monza are very late braking points
into Lesmo 1 and Parabolica. Fast downchanges and brake biases starting at 55 and going
downward should get a driver in the mid to low 28 range into the 27s soon enough with no
other setup or driving adjustments.

  For those who like to know what's out there, I watched Ian Lake do about 5 laps in a row
under 1.27.50 (best of 1.27.17) in a VROC social race about a week ago. Needless to say,
he cleaned us all up (yes, even Wolfgang) in last weekends 2 races of GPLWS at Monza.
