   Keith Code’s "A twist of the wrist" is about motorcycle racing but the same theories apply. It is not the entrance speed to a corner but the the exit speed leading to the next straight. He breaks it down into a dollar per turn, if you speed into a corner too fast you spend pennies braking, more pennies going too deep and even more pennies getting out of the turn at a slower speed and have to make speed on the straight. Go in at the right speed, hit the right apex with the right brakes and exit at a higher speed, top speeds being equal the faster exit will reach top speed quicker and carry top speed far the to the next brake point.
   A VERY good easy to understand read.
