Nice videos.
Here is a little international flavor from Germany.
This was an exceptionally nice day on Hockenheimring

I had a tough time with T5 the entire first day. I run the same line at 2:28. I probably should be entering a little later, but I was told to aim for the "sand box" by instructor the first day. I was straight lining through the middle of T5 for braking purposes before entering the back side of the turn.

a little tight in T1&2 (I go deeper to enter T2 and breathe on the brakes to set the nose), I aim a lot deeper in T5 (the light pole with the white box by it), a little tight in T6&7 and a little early in T8. But you looked good when I ran with you on Sunday:thumbsup:

I fully expected to go to Roebling and double apex through T1 and T2, but Rob wanted me to run the "autocross" line so that's what I did. Next time I'll try the more popular line. I have some video from behind you and I definately noticed that you were much deeper into T5 so I'm going to work on that as well in May.
Turns 6-7 and 8 really made me nervous so I just sorta went through them without really taking any chances. There wasn't a lot of room for forgiveness entering T6 especially and I didn't want to earn my rookie stripe too early so I stayed way too far inside. :biggrin2:
Thanks for the tips as I really need them and maybe I can ride a lap or two with you next time.:thumbsup:
