Andretti Offers City Street Driving Tips for Long Beach
Mario Andretti, entering the Long Beach Grand Prix, says drivers must stay tidy and precise on city streets, noting street racing requires a different technique from Monte Carlo. He emphasizes avoiding slips and slides, choosing a careful line, and adapting quickly as practice time is limited for the 2.21 mile, 16 turn course. He believes Monte Carlo experience can help some rivals but cautions it is not a guarantee.
