Playing with a GT3 (turn down your speakers, first)

And a larger video of a lap around the 4.2 mile circuit. (turn down your speakers, first)

The 'Full' course is just plain fast. It is truely a 'car' circuit.

There are essentially three straights in this config. The front, the climbing esses and the back straight.

Down the front you want to stay on the power around the 'kink' at the start/finish area. Up the climbing esses, take each one just a tick late, lift once you're straight just before 'south bend', then power thru, track out and hold on. At the 'oak tree' turn, treat it almost as if it is one big turn. You DO NOT want to take that final turn in early.

As far as the 'twisty' sections, there are basically two areas. Turns 2 thru 5a and then again thru the 'roller coaster'.

The long video shows you thru both sections. It is important to stay left when turning into 4, in order to better set you up into 5, then late into 5a to setup the 'snake' and the entry into the climbing esses.

As far as the 'roller coaster' get the feel of it, as it can be intimidating, and wait to accelerate out of it until after you 'bottom out' in the 'hog pen'. And you don't wanna take that one early, either, as you'll run outta runoff real soon. Luckily there is plenty of 'agriculture' nearby.
