Turn 5

  • Think about this turn in three phases. Uphill entry, the crest, and the downhill exit.
  • Make the topography work for you by using the brakes and start your turn in during the uphill red phase. Coast or hold a light maintenance throttle over the crest blue phase. Finally, wait until the car feels settled and then progressively add throttle in the downhill green phase.
