every corner is different. the surfaces are different. there's a cobblestone crosswalk. There's a rain culvert. The outside is sandy in turns 3 and 4 but not 1 or 2.

The mechanics are the same. And fractions of a percent in a corner basically never matter, anyway. If the fractions of percents mattered the very many whole percents I give up would surely matter even more.

I say basically never because I'm sure someone will point me to some race where the finish is 5m after a corner.
