Guys, he's lifting because he's running out of road...

Suggestion: More brakes going in, hit your line, apex a little later, power out to edge.

The kink at Road America is the ultimate no-lift corner. Your line is what it is, whether you are headed off the edge, into the grass, or whatever. Your ass is stuck. Lift = crash into inside wall. I've lifted just slightly there to avoid other racers, and barely saved it, even knowing what was going to happen.

As mentioned, you need to alter your apex to be later, or slow down more on the entry, or both. That will let you power out, staying stable, and not run out of track.
