I just tried to follow Mario (something I haven’t done in months but I wanted to know how I could be 2+ seconds behind) and he makes 0.7+ in both the hairpins so I suddenly found myself 1.5 behind and no longer able to follow. I tried it but (just like Nurburgring Mullenbachschleife) couldn’t control it reliably. Frustrating. 2nd hairpin is a wallride.

I can keep on top of Mario drifting round the first one but he smokes me out of the 2nd (I'm terrible at wallriding, know the theory, can't do it) I can’t (intentionally) do wall-riding or controlled sliding so I just had to learn to hit the braking and acceleration points and, above all, be smooth as any slides cost you time and slow your forward momentum. Gradual improvements, better her, better there, but still not managing one complete good lap. But I finally managed a high 1:15 and “know” that I can improve ... this event will be around for another 3 weeks so plenty of time yet. Wish I could work out the horrible Ferrari F1 car (of which I’m NOT a fan!) at Brands Hatch. Good luck all.
