The most challenging corners I've experienced are turn 1 at Thunderhill (counterclockwise) and turn 10 at Sears. I'd also say turn 9 at Thunderhill when running clockwise. By challenging I mean corners that are tough to get right and take at maximum speed. |

If we are talking about TT/DE lines here goes.
Turn one TH CCW. after the pit wall get as far right as possible for set up for entry. stay right during braking (don't cheat left). Smooth turn in (fairly high speed turn entry) and very late apex at the end of the inside berm. Then exit all the way right using the entire exit berm. Turn 9 at TH CW. Going uphill can not see the apex. Either get off the gas as you get near the top of the hill or completely crest the hill and do some pretty aggressive braking (yes there is enough room to wait to brake here). Get the car all the way to the right at the apex(end of berm). Exit all the way to the left. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) to be honest Andy, it has been quite a while since I have run it that direction....but IIRC nip the left side going up the hill, straight over the crest, then nip the late apex on the right. |
