Turn 1

When approaching Turn one, you need to hug the outside wall. As you come to the corner, lift off the throttle and apply some brake, arc the car down into the corner, getting as close to the bottom line as possible. Once in the "Groove" of the corner, you need to apply throttle about mid corner. If you car is properly set up this will "Smash" the car into the corner, setting you up for turn 2.

Turn 2

After adding throttle mid turn between turns 1 and 2, you will need to increase more throttle as you decrease the steering angle, allowing the car to drift out to the wall approaching the back straight.

Turn 3

Turn 3 is different than turns 1 and 2. On the approach to turn three, you need to be hugging the outside wall. As you see the corner coming, start to drag the brake. On entry to the corner you need to be mid-track. Start adding throttle mid turn.

Turn 4

Be very careful as the exit of this corner transitions rather fast to the dogleg front stretch. Depending on exit speeds out of turn 3, you may need to lift a tiny bit to avoid sliding into the wall. As with any other turn, decrease steering angle while increasing throttle. Stick to the inside close to the grass while entering the dogleg straight, starting to set up for turn one.
