The key is have enough time to make it across before braking for T13, which means you have to leave room on the exit of T12 - which again means go the f*** slower. If you go deep into 12, you won't have a good T13 and neither a good T14. Similar to t1-3 you want to compromise speed at the right time here. The slowest point will be before the tightest point in the corner, meaning you will accelerate through the late apex (with either approach) allowing a straight exit taking lateral load away from the rears. Double apex, one early, one late, or with a single late apex (that i prefer). That's why the aggressive repositioning is important to not be braking with the car already turning left ever so slightly. It would take the grip from the inside tire too early and cause it to lock up. Another key here is saturating the front grip quickly by steering fast and in fact over the grip limit of the front tire - this will stabilize the car massively - aka "forced understeer".įor T5 make sure that as you brake, you want the car to go straight and not already cornering. Also typical for the Porsche is the very subtle, barely existent trail braking as the rear end is so loose already. Note the throttle application being a little cautious waiting for the rear to find the traction before flooring it. From here the corner opens up so you can get away with ever wider radiuses which equals higher speed. We're not even 1/4th into the corner when we already want to be near the kerb (not on it!!) and already lost all the speed. In T4 apex and slowest point really fall into the same place and quite early in the corner. Yet, not as difficult and crucial as in t1-3. T3 with slowest (x) and apex (grey dot) markingsĪgain viewing them as a unit as you really have to transition quickly after 4 to still be on the outside for 5. A tight line often yields lap time instead of running wide, while also saving the tires a bit. Meaning the on throttle moment should create additional rotation pulling you to the inside initially. Note the separation of slowest point and tightest point in the corner. The throttle will keep the diff engaged and also the pitch limited, stabilizing your car. Going off throttle will be enough and i case of the Porsche going off throttle half way will be sufficient - and needed to not spin. Turn 3 in GT3's does not need braking except for the tiniest of speed corrections. The T2 kerb works in most cars, but will require a slight lift on throttle, just to not get a snappy rear. Braking is done almost off the track with the car entirely on the kerb and its a good marker for yourself to place the inner wheels behind the sausage of T1. This mean's you can't take T2 flat and it also means you have to stay somewhat tight exiting turn 1. You want to enter turn 3 from a rather wide position, slightly more than half track width. So its important to make the right compromise here. Go deep in turn 1 and you'll still be out of position for turn 3 and lose time on the straight towards turn 4.
