Personal Hotlap - 2:02.706 - Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain Grand Prix

Posted on January 11, 2008 17:05 by ScottDrake

This hotlap is from my third or fourth session at Bahrain. Still working out the line. Can't say I'm a huge fan of this track as the super-slow corners like 1, 8, and 10 leading onto a straight get kind of tedious. I like the 5-6-7 corridor and the braking zone through 9, but everything else in the first 10 turns could be better.

There are some corners at this track where you really need to practice looking as far ahead as possible. Coming out of turn 11, if I'm not looking way up into turn 12, I forget I have to keep turning. Same for turn 15. If I'm not looking way up the straight at least to the end of the curbing, I usually end up on the curbing because the corner goes around a bit farther than you might think.
