We start on the long pit straight, reaching about 320kph before the first corner. You have to try not to brake too hard as it’s quite a wide turn that tightens at the end. You’re in second gear by in the end but you have to be careful not to lock up the inside right wheel. There is a lot of camber in the road at this point and is quite steep downhill. The exit into turn two is very important as you need to carry the speed into three and onto the long straight. Turn four is a fourth gear corner, pretty nice but not too difficult, where you can take a kerb inside. Turn five is flat out into six and seven, which is a double right hander in fourth or fifth gear. The mid corner speed is very important as the exit is just 100m long so you can concentrate on getting a good entry to turn eight, which is another second gear right hander.

For nine you can use the camber but have to try not be too aggressive - it’s a bit of a stop and go corner. Corner 10 is very similar to eight, a tight second gear right hander with wide kerbs. Then there’s a downhill left hander with a lot of camber again, which can be tricky in the rain as there may be rivers on the track and you can get aquaplaning. Then we go into the last corner, which is in third gear but the exit is crucial as we go onto one of the longer straights of the calendar and you can lose a lot of time if you don’t get it right.
