- The Kink, setup for braking as you won't have time to stand up for turn 2, so get used to heavy breaking while leaned over.
- Fast entry on angle - designed to suck you in - apex + exit off camber but it widens so feels too slow on exit (hint: just slide through to maintain speed), pull in to setup for #3
- Depends whether using dogleg or not, slight off camber, just like up #4 as # is very important
- Very strong positive camber uphill, but wheelspin can be a problem - important as getting exit here adds speed through to #7 in almost one sweeper (I drop onto right knee before exit bridge)
- Takes quite a tug to change, the front wants to lift uphill
- Positive camber, but drops away/flattens out wide, so hold exit tight as possible building speed for the flip-flop. can feel way too slow on exit due to positive uphill camber or panic if too wide too early (i.e. go in late) Important for speed here all through flip-flop
- Flip-flop - this is where markers are important. Build slowly, watching how your turn in & exit points change with speed. The only way to do this is with markers as you cannot see.
- Similar to #8 as is uphill positive camber - surprising how much speed lose due to hill (you can go in faster!!). Also important for slingshot down the straight - keep close to the wall, keep an eye out for riders coming out of pit lane at the end of wall.
