Absolutely, that's why I like Red Star, and I have the confidence to push it there.

I reckon that I was about 20m late on my braking, and would only just not have made the turn if I'd turned in aggressively.
When I saw that I'd overcooked it, I eased off on the brakes and chose my "off" spot.

My quick sums say, at 165kph, that's 0.4 second late.
Doesn't take a lot of distraction or misjudgement for that to happen.

Compare this mistake video to about 1m07 into my hot lap video in post #113.
Don't judge it by the sound of the lift, rather try to spot when the bonnet dips.
