T5:
As you come out of T4 there is a white dot on the track surface that I hit with my left front tire. That tire placement is really the key to this section and a good reference point for your line. You don’t want to be track right going into this turn – the white dot puts you at about the middle of the track. The apex is in the curbed area as you would expect. This area again requires a constant angle on the wheel all the way down to the braking zone before the bowl -- that’s how you know you have done it correctly. It is also very fast, I can almost go flat to the floor around the turn in my 996. You have to be smooth though.
Also, in T5 when I'm coming in a little hot, I breath off the throttle to get the car pointed in the right direction. Is this a good method?
