as for late apex, depends... track condition is one to think about... if there's a concrete wall on the outside of the turn, late apex... if the track is wet, later apex... if you are trying to set a time trial record, earlier apex... if you are racing for position, again it all depends

my belief is that we amateur drivers should spend more brainpower focusing on HITTING the apex and learning to 'track out' and max. accelerate coming off the apex and less fretting about +/- 5 degrees of apex angle
