Turn 2 - Chicane (singles only)


A sweeping climb up towards the chicane is tricky due to poor visibility. As the bend opens up each new area is blind from the last. Leaving turn one on the left edge of the track move to the centre by the next kerb. Stay on that line until you see the kerb on the entrance to the chicane and either brake as you approach or, clear of the kerb, brake as you move into the chicane. Do not turn in for the mid-point apex of the chicane too early. Once the mid-point apex is visible aim to run across its kerb beyond the apex.

The exit from the chicane is taken flat with the right rear tyre running across the exit kerb before you run wide to the track edge and onto the downhill straight.


Comments


A very tricky chicane and made even more so by the difficult approach. The exit is easier but it comes more as relief after the stress of the chicane.
