First time/ first couple laps on some staights you can't tell what direction the next turn will be.

My track notes…
Clockwise is mostly increasing radius turns.
It is the up hill direction.
Better track visibility.
Lap times a little slower this direction.

So far my Vette has not done better 2 min but my 911 did 1.57.

With red/green groups combined qualify well for the SV pre grid to try and avoid the traffic for a couple laps.

First timer tip...
Tip don't early apex T4!
If you early apex the long T4/T5 double apex sweeper.
You may find it easy to fall off the track on track out at T5.
ex. exit of T5 after an early T4 apex.
