Courtesy of FOX Sports and IMSA, Justin Bell uses the Michelin Tech Tip at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park to describe rake.
No, not the one of the garden variety… although we couldn’t resist using it here.
Adjusting the ride height on GT Le Mans cars, as Bell describes in the Corvette Racing paddock, can change the car’s aerodynamics and handling.
If a rake change occurs, teams may need to opt for another different compound or air pressure adjustment.
