hi Androo - looks like fun. Those cones would p... me off big time though - especially Southern Loop which to be honest is all wrong. It's a double apex corner - you enter close to the left of the track, hit an early apex then drift to the centre mid corner and apex again towards the end of the corner. That lets you go hard through the second half of Turn 1 and use the speed you carry into the loop to get the tail around and overcome natural understeer of most road cars.

It also gives you a much faster exit and you carry that speed all the way to Honda. That's the real test - how many revs you're carrying at the braking point there.

Sounds odd at first until you see it in action - watch the V8's.
