| Overhead shot. Start-finish straight is on the bottom. |
 |
| Angled shot |
 |
| The start-finish straight. The track drops away from drivers into turn 1 making braking here difficult and easy to lock up. Aim to brake just before the dip. |
 |
| Once the driver makes it through here, there is a long, curving, uphill section to contend with. The car is constantly pulling toward the outside of the track making it difficult to stay on the road. |
 |
| Turn 4 sees the track drop away again, aiding in getting a good drive away. |
 |
| But be careful - coming up soon is a double-left hander. Easy to run wide |
 |
| The famous turn 8. A quadruple-apex left hander ensures the drivers neck muscles are strained to the limit. |
 |
| A left-right chicane follows this, providing good overtaking opportunities as well as a chance to launch yourself down the DRS straight. |
 |
| The end of the lap features a slow and tricky left-right-left sequence. Be careful on the throttle here as a car can easily run off the road. |
Unfortunately there will be no video of this circuit as my controller has no battery and driving by keyboard is interesting to say the least. Take care and happy modelling.
