I agree with Darren's numbering of the turns for the most part, at least up through 7.  I don't know why the track map shows a bend between 6 and 7, it's definitely straight.  I have no idea where they get 14 turns from, unless they're counting the non-existent one on the map.

Darren - one thing I would tweak on your description of the turns is on turn 4 - you can track out all the way and still have time to setup for 5.  I make a lot of ground on people through this turn who take it too tight by only tracking out 1/3 or 1/2 way.  This was on a motorcycle, but I don't see why it wouldn't apply to cars as well.  I cringe every time I watch a car on youtube choke that corner off instead of carrying the full speed you can carry through it.

Absolutely right on 7 - flat out afterwards.  Again carry speed through it and track out all the way and you'll be on the floor on the left side of the track, if you're on the inside then you're not going fast enough.
