Yep I did a lot of passing there. T1 was a little difficult to setup with the little kink before the braking zone, but still doable. More often than not I would set people up by getting a killer run off 2 then making it no contest into 3. A good pass starts on corner exit

9 and 15 worked pretty well too.

Yes, getting a run off of T2 worked amazing well.

I was originally taking T3 verrrry wide, but I started to tighten it up a bit, and it saved me some time. T1 and T2, when I nailed it, felt so good. But I was usually a little off for T1 and that usually ruined my run out of T2.

I know that feel. You kind of had to blow 1 to get the run off two down, but when you got it right it was bliss. There were a lot of "throw away" corners there which always makes it difficult. It's hard for a lot of people to conceptualize "throwing away" a corner.

I really want to go back ASAP because after coming back and studying the map some more I know what I need to do to improve even further, aside from just adding lightness.
