Walking the Track

Post

Hello,

A few general questions for those that have a bit more intimate knowledge of teams:

When there's a race at a track that hasn't had any changes since it was last raced, do the teams still perform a walk of the track? Is there any benefit to this when there are simulations available?

Do any teams choose a different approach to 'walking the track' such as riding it by bicycle?

Are teams no longer 'walking the track' because the data is available by scanning and can be put into a sim, making the driver/team already experienced in racing on that track?


Thank you for your thoughts and insights into this.
