August 19, 2007: This is the corner that will make or break a lap in this configuration.
I'm screaming down the hill, in a corner that tightening up and a bit off-camber. The engine is roaring away and the car is right in the middle of its best acceleration zone. All four wheels are sliding - it's the corner where I drive the Seven closer to its limit than anywhere on any track. Oh, and to add to the challenge, there's a hairpin at the end. The braking zone is short and the car's unbalanced when it comes in, so it's where I can use the Seven's low CG, fast reflexes and great braking to take big chunks of time off other people. Well, assuming I get it right.
On my first fast lap, I discovered that I must have moved the brake bias to the rear at some point. Oops - I ran off the end of the track. No harm done, and there's a reason I put the bias adjuster in the cockpit!
