The Octopus on thunderbolt was difficult for my student to do anything more then drive very slowly around as it required trailbraking to enter at any sort of speed and a great deal of throttle modulation to maintain speed.

I donno...where are you having them modulate throttle? Going into the Octopus is easy to teach, you look all the way torwards at the end at the tire wall and like magic you take the right line. It's basically flat out.

The Carousel turn that follows is a great DE turn.
