The way out is through
Default

In Eric's car, I was using just a touch of brake into 9 to help the car turn in. It's a pretty quick corner, and you're not going all that fast coming off of 8/8a, but it's also downhill and off-camber, so the car doesn't exactly want to dart to the apex.

Speaking of 9... I had a very hard time getting that corner "right". In the simulators/games, I could get the car all the way left to the curb, and have enough speed to let it wash all the way out to the exit curbing. But in reality, if I got it all the way into the apex, I scrubbed off so much speed, that there was no reason to track all the way out. Or, if I kept the car about 1/2 a car width off the apex, I'd carry more speed throught the corner, and need to track out more. Something tells me I'm not getting into the corner correctly... I'm probably just apexing too early, and not waiting long enough to turn in.
