as i heard it, he did a very early apex at turn 3... should be enough time to take 1 then 2 and set up for 3 though. i was foolish enough to not go with any instructors for the day despite knowing a couple, i see plenty of things i need to work on in the vid but i would have liked to see the lines they were taking! hoping collin (silver m3) has a video coming up.

has him and some other guys from last year... from this angle it's hard to see how close he gets in. sure it was closer than i because i felt like crap every time i did come around there.
hopefully more practice coming up with another day here!

The entry to turn 1 is extremly bumpy. IMHO, the "proper" line through 1 &2 is whatever it takes to get your car to the right side of the track exiting 2 for a proper line through 3. 3 leads onto a straight, therefore way more important to get a good run through there.
Basicly, corner 2 is a late apex corner, you do what it takes to not upset the car on entry and make 1&2 one smooth arc, late apexing 2, to set up for 3.
Also, 4 is very fast! Late brakers here kills your speed. Brake early and softly not to upset balance of car and you can really carry some serious speed around 4. The same goes for 5. You dont threshold brake for these corners.
