The common thinking is that at a first event, every competitor has a more even-up chance, because the field is leveled by a shared lack of experience on the new course.
Well, Corvette Racing tells how it dispels that myth.
Actually, there's an off-setting argument that 'new' separates the teams into sub-sets of 'The Best', 'The Capable' and the 'OMG, How do they even get a racecar onto the grid'.
Nothing in racing is a slam-dunk, but anything that moves the baseline closer to the real need becomes a better-than-even advantage. The #3 and #4 cars will be 2 of the few that are ready to go from 1st Practice on to the Checker.
For Corvette Racing at the Baltimore GP, it's about to be THAT time when it IS time to translate 'Preparation' to 'Results'.
