The variante Rettifilo is a modification of the track to slow down cars before entering Biassono.



Having an aerial view of the circuit changes the perception of the curves. At least, for me. Agreed. Looking at it from a above you can see that the exit is more awkward AND that you can/should not be able to drive @pa straight line through it so I’m still confused both by others’ suggestion that you can and how I previously managed to get through there so much quicker, I guess it was plain dumb luck!

Also, the diagram shows that even though Lesmo 2 is more open (than Lesmo 1) it’s not actually a corner, just a kink in the track, so you need to stop, turn, accelerate ... and take the elusive cut. That’s probably why I keep getting it wrong. Well, I suck at the 1st Lesmo and the Parabolica.
 * 1st Lesmo = Even though I braked to avoid going off-track, I always end up milliseconds late
 * Parabolica = The do-or-die final corner. I though I can turn without braking, but I ended up going off-track instead, so I had to brake at the cost of a late lap
