You arrive at the first corner in seventh gear, at about 310kph (192mph). There is a lot of grip from the asphalt, so you can brake really late before turning in third gear. The rear gets a bit light at this point.
You then have the left hander at turn two, which is the slowest corner on the circuit. It’s first or second gear and it has a camber change in the middle, so it’s quite difficult to find the right differential set-up for it.
You enter turns five and six in fifth gear, at 230kph (143mph), and the entry to turn five is almost flat so you really have to squeeze the throttle and make sure you have a very late apex. There’s an immediate change of direction and at this point we pull about 4.5g. You might touch the brakes to stabilise the car into turn six, which is incredibly bumpy and the rear gets very light. Don’t forget that we are still at 220-230kph (137-143mph), with not much run-off, and I really enjoy it!
