Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

Question for those who know about track racing: do the tighter corners make tidy changeovers more difficult to get right?

It's easier. You use the banking to slow you down slightly as you peal up, then use it to your advantage again to speed up to slot in the back. Doesn't work well on the straights.
