The Racing Line at Pitt Race - North Circuit

Pitt Race, aka the Pittsburgh International Race Complex, formerly (and perhaps better) known as BeaveRun, is home to the North Track as well as a dedicated kart course called Wilson Circuit. It was fairly difficult to find videos which were decent quality and good demonstrations of the racing line, so if you know of one please suggest it in the additional resources section below.

The racing line at Pitt Race is pretty straightforward, but even so, the calculated line has two big differences from what you see in most of the onboard footage. First, at Turn 3, most pilots hit the apex, then straighten the steering and drive the vehicle toward the outside before Turning in at 4. Al, on the other hand, has each vehicle running slightly wide of that apex, using a lot of both throttle and turning force all the way until you start braking for Turn 4. This should allow for more speed through this section.

The other difference appears in Turn 10. Most footage shows drivers taking a combination of the two line types, staying pretty far out from the second apex like the Miata, but driving all the way to the outside on corner exit. The optimized line suggests that higher powered vehicles should stay tight and treat the corner like a true double apex, using the full width of the track on the exit.
