In an onboard video from an ancient Citroën C1 on a rainy Nordschleife track day, Dale Lomas from Bridge to Gantry aptly illustrates this. Despite having only 68 horsepower, the little French hatchback was stripped and caged for a 24-hour race at Spa, and it has a tendency to oversteer in corners and while exiting. In other words, an ideal vehicle.
The goal here is to save momentum, which applies whether you’re racing on the Nürburgring or attempting to stay up with faster vehicles on a good route. Try your best to stay there and get up to speed. Keep your speed up, steer clear of wheelspin, prevent braking, and try not to scrub off speed in the middle of a bend. With a friend in a Hyundai I20 N and Lomas doing all in his power to remain with an E36 3-Series, you can keep up with fast vehicles if you do it right. It hurts when you lift or brake too much and lose momentum. There are few things in life that are more fulfilling than getting back up to speed, but it takes a very long time.
