I'm there at japfest on track, so I'll be listening into this thread. I think there are some videos of SM driving around, which shuld be pretty bang on for lines etc

Brake either before or just after the top of avon rise after the car has settled, don't brake right on top.

Don't look at how much runoff there is.:wack:

use your mirrors, at least on the 2 main straights, and let someone past who is going round the corners faster than you.

if someone is stuck behind you for nearly 2 laps of a short session on track they're going to be miffed and might do something silly ;)
