That's another good thought - we make our club track tight and twisty because the skilled drivers want a challenge. That same challenge proves difficult for the new driver learning their craft, so we tell them to go slower.

What would happen if we made the tracks easier? Then if the drivers were 'too fast' they would do less damage, but still find great lines and corner accuracy rewarded by better lap scores over the race distance.

It might make race night less challenging for the more experienced, but if the track is the same for everyone, the best drivers will still be faster. Perhaps a simpler track every other week would be beneficial to the new drivers? Just a thought...

Bottom line here; we are trying to overcome human nature. That, as a challenge, is like trying to solve world hunger. WE have to keep trying, but it is a moving target!
