Key Sections
Section 1 — The Opening
A technical sequence demanding patience — go too fast too early and you eat a barrier. Find your braking marker and stick to it — consistency beats heroics here.
Section 2 — The Mid-Lap Challenge
Has a rhythm — once you find the flow, corners link beautifully, but one mistake compounds through the next three turns.
Section 3 — The Final Sprint
Mostly flat out with one last braking zone before the finish. The exit of the final corner is EVERYTHING — a bad exit costs speed all the way down the next straight.

Rivals Strategy
Focus on corner exit speeds. The straights are long enough that 2-3 km/h more at exit translates to 0.2-0.3 seconds by the next braking zone. Use manual with clutch for fastest shifts — the time saved per shift is tiny but it adds up over a full lap.
