    Yeah,,, Surtees... Acque Mineralli (any bloody year!)

    But, to get in early for much anticipated DLC - coming up through Tiergarten and into Hohenrain.

    BTW - TP3A Pedals - I get best results when I screw the brake cone all the way out to maximum length (just about falling out with just enough thread left for the lock nut to bite) and then cheat on the calibration. The (about 10 mm) free travel up to where the cone engages gives me about 20% brake force, then I can get a reasonably progressive load cell type response up to 100% through the travel provided within the cone compression zone (about another 20 mm). Its not too bad... but I've been anxiously waiting 7 weeks for V3 pedals though...

    Use the dark patch of pavement as you crest the hill there as a brake marker. I find that works really well. The turn itself is the tricky part, depending on the car usually just the perfect amount of trail brake and skid is optimal, but its really tough to get that right.

    For some strange reason, I always run wide at Mirabeau at Monaco.
    Either I'm turning in too late to hug the apex, or something else, but I can never seem to hook that corner up satisfactorily.

    Theres something weird with that one, the radius of the corner does odd things in most games, and in some it's more obvious than others. I find I more or less double apex it, with the first apex very early and second very late, right before the entrance to Casino. If you do it right you take a smooth, max lateral load arc all the way to the "outside" of casino corner.

    Remus at Spielberg....oh man...so frustrating, especially in high horsepower cars.

    The last hairpin at Ibarra, which is an amazing track but that uphill/off camber turn is ridiculous.

    I struggled with T1 (which leads to T2 and if you mess up T1, you also mess up T2) at Interlagos for a long time. You have to turn in early and drive over the curbs on your left.

    That's the Massenet left-hander. I'm fine there, its' the tight, downhill right hander after Casino, leading into the Loews hairpin, which is Mirabeau.
