Turn 1

Hug the right of the track and stay in line for a hard braking, later than you think, then murder this left hander and cut the curb to postion oprimally for Turn 2

Turn 2

Hug the inside, it goes longer than you expect. Get good exit speed, don't worry too much about apex speed

Turn 3

Drift to the left to setup for the first chicane. Curbs are quite agressive so be careful - if it doesnt upset the car too much, you can run the curbs but ... zero room on the chicane exit

Turn 4

Turn 5

This is a fast right hand kink more than a turn. Go as close to the wall on the inside as possible. Immediately upon exit, get to the right to postion for heavy braking

Turn 6

This chicane is all about the right hand turn. Sacrifice the left hand part and carry good speed thru for a good exit into the long back straight.

Turn 7

Same philosophy as the previous chicane but in reverse. This chicane is all about the left hand turn. Sacrifice the right hand part and carry good speed thru for a good exit.

Turn 11

Final chicane - heavy, straight braking on the extreme left of the track. Carry as much speed thru the chicane as you can, preferably without putting your car into the wall as you exit
