After watching the story of the Acura P1 car being built to use more grip in order to compete against Peugeot and Audi, we are looking forward to see how their new setup works out at Sebring this weekend.

Hopefully the issues with the hydraulic steering have been mostly figured out.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
