On the majority of corners there is a white mark on the "turn in" point, tbh from what i've read you need around 50 laps to know the track reasonably well....and another 50 laps to be doing some decent times!Its just far too long to learn it at once, by about 10 laps you'll know the first 3mins, 20 laps second 3mins, 30 laps third 3mins of the lap. Then a further 20 laps to string the whole lap together. Theres also ALOT of blind crests and turn in is often before the blind crest.
Its not going to be the most challenging track in the world without being hard
Im doing it in around 9mins flat bridge to gantry. I'll hopefully have a full lap video coming from my mate soon, according to form it was a 9:04 BTG.
Dave - I knew you'd like that picture
