such a fun track!!! Scary when it's wet though... it's a very slick surface. Looks a lot bigger in pictures than it really is; I was surprised how quick the lap goes by.

In the rain I left TC on, and it helped in the 9/10 complex. Also if it's raining, make sure you aim for the timing tower coming out of 3 going up the hill at 4 and stay straight; there is a ton of room to the left, even though it doesn't look like it as you're climbing the hill. Turning right as you go over the hill will put you into the wall in the rain.

You can't see it in the video below, but throttle lift oversteer in the middle of turn 2 really helps rotate the car to set up for turn 3. For 7b/8, you pretty much run over the ENTIRE curb on the left; take that complex straight through. And for turn 11, it's a blind apex, but they usually have a little white stick/cone that you can see from far back; you'll turn in before you actually see the apex itself, so use that stick as reference.

Here's some video from back in Sept when I was there with Chin.
