To answer Scott's question, I guess the most important thing to remember is that exit speed (off a corner) is more important than entry speed. If you blast around turn one, a 300 ft. radius/180 right turn and exit way to the left, then you are in the wrong position to hit the apex on turn 2 (a 180 degree left hander). This will cost you a lot of speed and time. The same applies at turn 9 that Greg mentions -- if you are too fast entering turn 9, you will exit way right and will not be able to enter turn 10 with any chance of having a good line from which to accelerate out of the turn onto the front straight. Greg also mentions blind turns. The car goes where you look, and if you don't know the course and don't look where the asphalt goes (whether you can see it or not), then you may not hold a good line. Like I said earlier, it is a pretty technical course and a blast to drive.
