From t2-t6 I'm on 3rd all the time, 5th-4th at t1(have short r/p), 4th gear before t7 then downshift 3rd before t9 then 4th as go down t9 then 3rd before t10 then 4th at exit of esses then 3rd on t14.

on the entry berm of T8, i hit the very beginning of that, that's my apex. once i hit it, i roll throttle. i need all the extra exit berm there is.

Wow, now that is what I call early. Dean Thomas had me taking T8 earlier, but I was about 33-40% of the way up the berm. Also, taking T9 and T10 earlier is working much better. Long way to go....

T9 early needs *****.
T10 early is not bad, just get on the apex berm, your rear will come lose so you can turn the car faster. if you hit dirt on exit, dont lift.
