My good friend Dennis Aase used to talk about "line" and the Trans Am and
IMSA Audis. He drove his Gurney Toyota (yeah, right, a FWD Celica looking
thing with RWD and a Hewland transaxle!) with style, speed, and a good
measure of success. However, no matter what line was advantageous for the
rest of the field, Rohrl, Stuck, and Heywood simply used the "line" where
nobody else was. Sort of like broken field running. I'm of the opinion
that "the correct line" for a particular car and driving style is the one
that works best. Must be unnerving to be perfectly on your "line" and see
that big ol' sedan go motoring right on by
