I know what your saying Poyda, Turn 2 is the farker I just can't get either........... :x

Tight entry, Drift then tight exit (make it one big corner) & stay on the inside during the exit.
+ go in fast ... the drift will wash off speed ;)
If you go in too slow you will be all over the place trying to get drive in the second part of the corner.

Yeh all makes sense on paper....
I had an off there last year and I still don't know why......... Whould be interesting to know what is the most popular cause for the offs in this corner....?
I think I was just leaning to far, going to quick or I got on the gas to early, but it just went from under me ........ and I am still unsure why....
I'ts hard to fix it, if you don't know what's broke........ :?

LOL at Cath,

Rob - were you trying to tell Hoffy he'd be faster if he walked?

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
