It definitely isn't as simple as 'turn left', I can assure you of that - they don't half move around when you put the power down, and not always where you might expect!
Still, I got a couple of laps in under a minute. Not bad when you consider the track record is 24.719 seconds  |
Glad you experienced one, I think they move around so much because the aero is pretty well non existent, and the buffeting is considerable in a pack situation.
The vision of the track ahead is also pathetic on a banked corner, every corner has a different camber, there are 3 adjacent racing lines, all the corners are taken flat out with the car floating on the limit with no run off room, the walls are hard and the traffic full on.
Easy really!
