You will learn it, I think it's much much simpler a layout than at first it appears... Then again I probably have done quite a lot of test laps... probably 20 - 30 laps.I've only made it to the tunnel once.
Well, I wanted to get an idea of whether getting close to 10 minutes was even going to be possible, and I learned that I will need to really learn the track well with a more moderate car before even trying it.
Couldn't agree with you more mate, exactly my thinking with the F1 car... Seems crazy at 1st going round a corner at 150mph with a 300ft drop into a canyon... With no barriers... But it's a good way to learn... As you say... 8 or 9/10's of your ability is the way to go. Get a "slowish" F1 lap under your belt... Then start gradually pushing a bit moreI know its an odd opinion, but for learning tracks I have always found fast, high grip cars to be the easiest. Sure I won't be driving at 100% of the cars potential, but I can drive well within the cars and my own limits and still be flying round at a much faster pace than I would be in say a street car.
It was the same years back when we got the Nords, I can get plenty of 9/10ths laps in a reasonably short space of time, meaning I see the same bits of the track more often.
Nothing worse than taking 15+ mins to get 3/4 of the lap just to limply understeer off into the valleys
