Yep had one there as well, doh.
Slightly off line and hit the right hand strip at a rather nasty angle.
Popped the tyre off the rim slightly and knocked the tracking.
Still trying to figure the best line through there. I just wait till last safe moment now and hang her in at the last second
Sometimes i find myself not to well set up for the next right though.

There is a key to AF, stay wide to the left, and then turn in at the dot.....a lot of people carry to much speed from the previous right to care too much where they are going.
The dot is hard to spot because of the the grafitti, but if you take it slow a couple of times, you'll spot it.

I aim for the new piece of armco on the right hand side of the track as my approach to the left of AF (pretty sure its where the dot is, but the new armco is easier to see). From the moment I turn in there its flat in third the whole way through.

I do most of them flat ....... Only have to brake for AF and Karousell and they are only a little dab
Have been known to have a wee touch on the middle pedal before the jump at P2 as well though

Race pads were one of the best upgrade I bought.
100 laps per set, increaced braking performance, and they have managed 4 laps on the spin, in a heavy road car with no reduction in perfomance.
....saying that it's a bonus to have good brakes to start with

I reckon you can add 1 minute to the time for a full lap inc of the long straight, makes the radicals full lap time even more amazing
