Lime Rock’s “Lefthander” and Turn Four represent difficult challenges at one of the most demanding racetracks in North America. Mastering these Esses will, in great measure, determine good lap times at one of the most challenging tracks you will ever drive.
In racing, there are three types of corners: Most turns are “Type 1” Exit Speed corners, some are “Type 2” Entry Speed turns, and then we have “Type 3,” “Compromise,” or “Set-Up” corners like Lime Rock’s Lefthander. This turn is critically important since it precedes the Type 1 turn leading onto Lime Rock’s second longest straightaway.
