Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).
Any test on this track is a fun one. The beginning left-right (Speigelkurve) usually isn't too tricky, but in this car, it's easy to go off or into the barrier. I manage to take it flat out, and I make my way to the left side to prepare for Drei-Fach Rechts.
I start my braking as the inside barrier starts to go off screen. I gradually make my way from the left to the right side, slowing from 102 to 72 before getting back on the gas.
For Wehrseifen, I begin from the left side, and start my turn-in about 30 m before the green turn sign (on the left side). I modulate the brakes to help keep me to the right hand side, and with the proper momentum to change directions. I slow from 100, eventually down to 37 before getting back on the gas to complete the left hander.
The final right can be taken flat out, and I try to come around without steering too forcefully. The TCS is really sensitive on this car, and putting the front wheels over the curbing can slow it down. Also, it seemed that the TT is the kind of car that benefits from early shifting, at least from 3rd to 4th...
I cross the line at 0'32.268, going 85 mph in 4th gear.
