Circuit
A Lap of the Sepang circuit with Keifli Othman. Starting at the starting line on the front straight, You will accelerate until you reach the 150M mark. I started to brake here, a soft tap at first gradually increasing the pressure as you reach T1. Using 3rd gear, I aim for a late apex on T1 positioning the car more towards the middle as I exit T1. From the middle you can easily aim for the early apex in T2, which is a very tight 2nd gear corner. T3 looks easy but if you take it properly, you can gain time here. I stay in the middle as I approach T3, letting the car drift out as I exit T3. I braked at 100M on the approach of T4, selecting 2nd gear at the very last moment. I take an early apex here. Going into T5, I opted to stay in. The apex for this turn is slightly late but be careful of not aiming it too late as it will make the car lost balance as you change the direction for T6. The is a chamber change in between T5 and T6. Aim for a middle apex. I used 3rd all the way from T5 to T6. T7 is quite tricky. If you get the apex wrong here than T8 will be a mess. Go in early for T7, ride the kerbing, the car will drift but stay in the middle and aim an early apex for T8. As I said before it is very tricky, be very caution. I used 3rd gear. On the 150M marker on the approach to T9, I trial brake. Meaning that I brake slightly and gradually increasing the pressure as the turn approaches. Select 2nd gear and stay on the brake as you turn into the corner. Go for a middle apex. I take T10 on 3rd gear and stay out as I approach T11. Also in 3rd gear, ride the kerb and aim for a middle apex. Stay in 3rd all the way to T12. The apex for T12 is slightly before the middle. Lift the throttle slightly while in 3rd gear. Do not ride the kerbing. Select 4th just after T12 and stay in as you approach T13, letting the car drift out as you approach T14. T14 is very technical as you cannot see the apex while approaching the corner. Select 3rd gear, again trial braking and aim the car for a middle apex. Select 2nd gear just before you reach the apex. T15 is very wide. You can take almost any line and you cannot get it wrong. I used 2nd gear for this corner. There you are, a lap of Sepang in my trusty Proton. Regards,
