Pretty tricky technical track but good fun once you get into a bit of a rhythm, there is lots of runoff but it just accelerates you into walls it seems so best to stay on the track.

The full layout isn't necessarily going to be any easier. Because this race has a CPS, you might have to choose when you pit carefully, depending on the traffic you migth come out in.It looks like it's going to be fairly warm at 32°.

T14 will likely be the place that also has most contact due to this as both drivers need to be aware of each other if any overlap is there at the brake point.Passing was much harder at Monza then I expected but then the spiking pedal wasn't going to help me much there, here the car is quite awkward with race fuel and low grip so may be best for all to try some laps heavy to figure out how to get around the first few turns of the race.

A lot of places are really bumpy, like the corners to the front straight - and if you run wide, you'll be sliding for a fair bit down the hill. In a few places it's easy to hit a wall if you make a mistake, then spin back onto the track... I remember from iRacing times that passing can be extremely treacherous. Too many left-right-left kinda corners. And tight ones, with nothing to spare.
