Second time at this track but first time with this particular car. I managed a 2:05.5 first time here with my 2016 Golf R (430bhp) & Yokohma RR slicks. So I had no real idea what I could do with less tire and a lot less power. I was shooting for a 2:08 so I hit my goal:) This track isn't much about power like some of the other I track at, it's extremely technical and challenging, almost to the point it's a little frustrating. Entry speed and early power application out of the corners is absolutely everything here as each will allow you to carry more speed in and out of the turns. I feel I could drop 1-2 seconds more here once I learn the turns better it simply requires practice here, nothing else can replace track time. Only future upgrades for this track will be wider tires going with 255 in the near future which should help with some understeer and overall grip that this track requires.
