Yep, you need big goolies to brake late there - it's quite scary.
But I still need a lot of "growth"...

Here's how the pro's do it. This is Mark Cronje in his Ford Fiesta rally car.
You'll see that he turns into the left hand kink still with foot flat, and only starts braking once he's in that corner. Enjoy.

What I feel quite good about is that he's only 10 secs quicker than me around Red Star.
That's 10 secs / 143 = 7% quicker.
I can live with that...
