Turn 7, and then the combo after 8 where you go right and left down the hill and then into 10 that really fast right hander.
So lets start with turn 7. I keep on the outside and I'm hard on the brakes and then i lean in and get on the throttle quick. Sometimes I missed what I was using as a late apex and then I would be on the throttle all the way until the first cone marker but I'd be on the left hand side and not where i wanted to be for that following hairpin. Also if I gave it too much gas too early I would end up having to roll off and standing the bike up as I know that I"m not supposed to roll off mid corner completely leaned over. So after coming through that when I would do it kind of correctly I'd end up coming in pretty hot and just keeping steady throttle kind of coasting through the entire corner and then a little gas once I completed the corner and then hard on the brakes and back down to 2nd for the left hairpin, turn 8. I feel that maybe this isn't the best way to do this. Should I be keeping my entry speed really high and just keep the throttle held instead of rollling on? I really have no idea and that corner left me confused as to which is the quickest way through (assuming you're not trying to pass anyone). Thoughts?
