| I have no idea why, but I've never managed to maintain a consitent line this section of the NDH. I almost quite literally use a different approach on each of them.
Here's a few of the methods I end up using: 1: Slow in. Hug the guardrail. Power out & while easily preparing for the next apex. This is the most straight-forward method as I'll have an identical approach on all the hairpins. Easy & worthwhile,but I feel like it's not the fastest method IMO
2: Fast in. Brake + a hint of handbrake to powerslide right before & into the apex. Grip & power out while fighting to maintain composure/traction & some difficulty preparing for the next apex. Idk if anybody else has done it like this, but I use the handbrake thing the moment before the apex on a few tight corners in my Z. I can only do it perfectly in my Z. When executed right, it actually works. I've used it to put some distance on people while being chased(works AWESOME on the "almost"-hairpin by the waterfall). Problem is though, it's not very easy to do(you're right on the limit of the tires on corner exit) & it's more-so instinctual than actually being thought out. When done right though, my butt timer/dyno tells me that I was moving faster than method 1
3: Just wing it lol. Fast in. Brake hard, & hope for the best. If I'm really having a close race with someone & I'm chasing, this is the method that usually gets used lol
What kind of methods do you guys use? I'm curious to see what else is being done. & also if you have any tips/suggestions, I'm all ears!

| Brake, at the apex or right before it I handbrake and power shift on the exit, works like a glove dude | |

| I personally use what you described in your first method for nearly all RWD cars. I think the more acceleration a car has the better it can do with that kind of line though. | |

| The lines thru those sections should be based upon your car. Cars with a high rated acceleration(ae86/mx5/mrs/etc) are able to hug the corners. Heavy weight cars with a slower acceleration or the ones hard to fit into B class need to carry the weight thru by taking a slightly wider line to maintain speed instead of slowing down, hugging the corner then sluggishly accelerating out. | |
