What ya wanna know?
Start straight brake half way down the zig zags at the pit lane exit. 3rd gear into first corner. 2nd would do but 3rd is better so that you can stay in that gear round turn three. Hand wide and take it a double apex into the chicane. DONT highside coming out! First left hand corner. Down the straight and pull left. Brake hard for the right hand corner at the end of the straight when you get to the marker. S bend can be taken flat out but best just roll off for now cos you need a perfect line to get through flat out. Rest of back section is simple enough. Sunny in and sunny out taken as one double apex. Watch the front end going in as there is a join in the road. coming out as there is a bump on the straight and the front pops up. Left hander is bumpy so find the right line to stay off the bumps. Trial and error really. Drift wide on the right hander to maintain the speed upto the hairpin. Very slow round the hairpin and then nail lit down the straight.
I cant remember the corner names sorry. I will find a map and a video!
on board fottage. 12 seconds a lap slower than I but its not a bad line and smooth. Not to mention the bike he is on.
