by elongating the time of an incident. But there is always a peak point of g-force when there’s contact with the wall. The faster a car hits the wall, the higher the peak point of energy that goes through the cockpit.
An exception is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where in this year’s spring race the pole speed jumped by 4.387 mph compared to the last available pre-pandemic qualifying session with the Gen 6 cars. Coming immediately after Daytona, the qualifying speed at Las Vegas, where drivers spend more time in the turns, suggests higher cornering speeds for the Next Gen car due to its flat bottom and rear diffuser.
