Currently 16th in the championship, Adam has enjoyed a quiet but consistent debut season, netting multiple top 15 results along with a solid top 5 at Belle Isle earlier in the season.

With Road America next up on the list, we thought it would be the perfect time to get Adam Briggs opinion on how to navigate the Road America Circuit.

Braking

Road America! This technically diverse race track features an enormous array of variations, genuine key passing opportunities however are limited to 4 corners: Turn 1, Turn 5, Turn 8 and Canada Corner Turn 12, All 4 of these opportunities require confidence and committed braking to get the job done clean.

The Lap 1 Crush into Turn 5

With each and every visit to Road America, the lap 1 concertina into turn 5 is always a challenge, watch out for action here, bandits will likely try to bypass congestion around the outside only to find themselves without useable track on the exit.

Pit Stops

The Sprint Race format will be in use, 250km Race and 2 compulsory Pit stops (CPS), The large run off areas afforded to competitors by the Road America layout will reduce the likelihood of Safety Cars periods being required, so the timing of pit stops will likely be used to either undercut or overcut opponents throughout race. The effective use and timing of the stops to gain places and reduce risk will be key.

The Carousel

The most Iconic Feature of the Road America Circuit is the Seemingly endless Turn 10 “Carousel”, Car setup and careful use of the right foot will play their part in what is a tortuous corner for the left hand front tyre. Good exit speed from here is crucial for any passing attempt all the way down at turn 12.

Qualifying

This is always important, you always want to qualify up front and avoid the “wobblers” (more often than not, I'm the wobbler), a draft in key areas will help, say the front straight and the rear section before Canada corner. But if you are too close to the car in front it can cause wash and understeer in the more technical sections
