I'm so concerned about getting a high speed off the long straight from 15 to 1 I'm failing to set up properly. Turn 8 is a whole nother animal. After coming out of seven its important to settle the chasis and use all of 8. Per past instruction I have been told to tap brakes to settle chassis in between 7 & 8 before driving through 8 and thats whats throwing me off because the point at which your supposed to tap brakes is a bit of a distance before you hit 8.
Wish me luck guys. I'm already :brix: my pants. Goal lap times this time around will be in the 2:02 range.

My issue with 14/15 on bikes is the seam in the surface (read curb) it was right at what I felt was the ideal apex and I could never find a shallow line that would generate drive out of 15, the deep line over the seam upset the chassis enough that you were wide on exit or feathering throttle trying to keep from going wide. :bang:
Entering 1 on the bike was keep it pinned past the tower and turn in to into the pit lane once past the pit lane wall stab the brakes and turn it in and get on the throttle.
If I'm not mistaken the key to a stable chassis going into 8 starts will nailing 6's apex/exit so you can pin 7 and pray through 8......:D
With the bike a slight lift to trailing throttle going into 8 was enough to maintain confidence. (does that bank look scarier in car than a bike, not sure which would be worse?) That corner is a rush when you get it close to right............so are 9 a & b pinning to toward the horizon, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, etc........what a great track!!
Don't worry G, you'll do fine, get used to the new stuff in the am then focus on having a good time maximizing your lines on the track..........not the infield. :D
