Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).
This car is a fun ride. I like trying to use the oversteer to help complete the turns, but the braking leaves a lot to be desired.
Just before exiting the tree canopy (about 50 m before the end of the shadows), I begin turning in to the sharp left. As I come out of the shadows, I begin braking from 127 to 55, then get back to full throttle for the exit. I head back to the left, and try to thread the needle for the approach to the right hander.
Just as I pass the right side curb, I begin braking for the hard right. Steering and speed control are key here, as this car will be hard to manage through the turn without the right disposition. I brake from 113 to 95 as I swing the steering from the right to the left, then I coast for a moment before I brake again for the entry to the hard right.
As I pass the left wall, I brake again from 93 to 55, still steering to the left. As I'm braking, the understeer pushes me toward the inside curb and I swing the steering to the right (when I'm in the middle of the road). I flutter the gas to get back to the low-mid 60s, staying tight to the right side curb until the exit comes into view.
I try for a smooth exit, then make my way to the right side to setup for the final left. Just before getting to the bottom of the hill, I begin braking from 109 to 60. I also begin turn in, and I ease back into the gas after coasting in the low-mid 50s. When I pass the inside (left side) curb, I get back to full throttle for the run to the line.
I cross at 0'33.618, going 101 mph in 3rd gear.
