Is an absolute ***! Any suggestions on how to take this? Watching
Greger, WW, etc. is all well and good, but I just can't put that damn
corner together. So how do all you guys put it together?

Using Ringtrainer is handy to be able to try repeatedly (albeit with
cold tyres) but I think I'll go nuts if I***up more laps at the
one corner!

I think the fact that the apex is hidden until you're pretty much on
it is causing a lot of the problems, as well as the kink to the left.
Trying to improve from my 8:57 could cause damage to my wheel soon...

Cheers

I'm no Greger or Wolfi, but I've found a good braking point passing
that little shed on the left side of the track. The left hander is
actually much faster than you think at first, and if you turn in a bit
earlier than later you usually have plenty of room to brake for the
following 2nd/3rd gear left hander leading down into Kallenhard.

Exiting Adenauerforst in 2nd I'm usually into fourth flat out
approaching Metzgesfeld. Just make sure you stay on the right side of
the track and watch for that little shed to come up.

HTH,

Uwe.

Thanks, I'll see how I go. I always tend to turn in a bit late since
I'm unsighted for the apex, and by then its too late.
