The Cayman needs to drop back down a group (yellow) and go back to driving school.... he's so far off the apex cones that it's obvious he has ZERO idea what they're telling him!

For the newbs (myself included)... the orange cone on the corners is an APEX marker... you basically want to try to touch it if you can in EVERY corner if you have the line to yourself (which we always do because we are not allowed to be 2 wide in a corner)... and HITTING the apex will have you EXIT properly. Take the apex WIDE and you run out of track on the exit. That's what happened to the Cayman in T1... Go back and see that he's in the middle of the track at the apex -- then he's way wide on exit -- and sees the edge of the track coming up to bite his ass.... and he tries to dial the car back in -- and has the ass end trying to come around on him. Rookie mistake.... but more importantly -- he never once was anywhere near the apex in any corner.

If you watch -- there is an APEX marker --- and on EXIT there is an EXIT marker.... You want to clip the apex and let the car come out to the exit cone ---- then it's "punch it! I know the road!" LOL
