I posted this video in another section of the forum but shows a great if not a little odd line through the S bend and the final right hander.

This is not my lap but someone else's I capped.

I might start capping the fastest laps from US, UK, Japanese going forwards if these would be usefull?

Not disrespecting the technique just wish I could do the S bend like that. It is like the car has turned in right but not super sharp then a fraction later its turned even further in. Odd is probably not the correct word lol
 
Im using a pad with automatic transmission and im getting nearly 1 second faster then my personal best on the tuned 370 which is a 1'40.754 until i reach the S shaped turn which i then actually become slower. Anyone got any tips to get around this corner successfully.

I was struggling to improve my time since yesterday until i found out the technique of braking before a turn instead of braking whilst you turn and then tapping the accelerator gently until you pass and then you hit full throttle, im shedding alot of time until that dam corner.

I can say you what would I do in real life in the turn like this. I would slip through it like a lizzard with any good FR car using steering and throttle little roughly to make lift off and then floor it again twice in a row to help set rear of the car into correct angle. But in this demo, I'm in hopeless understeer there, because exxagerated oversteer bites me for using it even very little.
