Physical Aero & Wear Profile

Darlington's unique layout requires hugging the SAFER barrier in Turns 1 & 2 (narrow, steep 25° banking) then diving low in Turns 3 & 4 (wide, flatter 23° banking). Scrapes strip downforce and cost 0.45s drag per incident.

• Optimal Baseline: 28.65s (Lap 1 Fresh Tires)
• Observed Falloff: +2.77s degradation
• Finish Position: P18 (Hamlin race pace)
