Driving rFactor: Orchard Lake Grand Prix @ SimHQ

Our friends at SimHQ have posted another article in their "driving" series - Driving rFactor: Orchard Lake Grand Prix, in which they give a tutorial in how to post a fast-lap at that particular circuit.

Located in the heart of Pennsylvania, Orchard Lake features not only a competitive NASCAR-style tri-oval with moderate banking, but also boasts a complex infield road course suitable for racing series like the Rolex Grand Am or American Le Mans Series. Similar to Grand Am's 24 hours of Daytona, which uses the infield race track at that famous tri-oval circuit, “The Deuce” endurance race will make use of Orchard Lake's road course as the sun makes a quick lap of the rFactor world.

And what a challenge the infield can be! Pavement irregularities, flat or negative-camber corners, tight hairpins and blind turns all stand ready to challenge the driver in his or her pursuit of ever-quicker lap times.

As usual at SimHQ, the article is pretty in-depth, and you can view it here.
