I am assuming you mean Turns 1 and 2.
Brake somewhere around the 100meter mark (172-3MPH).
If your car is tight, then start your turn-in more from the middle of the track and try to grab the rumble with the left front.
If your car is loose, start from the right and be aware that the rumble might make the car yaw too much (the car will be pointing in the wrong direction when you need to brake).
It kind of depends on your setup, or the car's inherent traits.
Trying to explain what I do is very diffficult for me.
I don't usually think about what I'm doing, consciously anyway.
I mean, I do, but only after a lap and I'm imagining the way my view should look.
Most of the time, I just drive the car and try to hit all of my marks.
Okay, I ran some lap with a few cars.
The game had the S2000 TypeV (Wk32) ready to go. No break-in.
So, that's what I used.
After some tuning laps, I ran 20 hotlaps which produced 4 clean saves.
Best save:
20.037---Oops, I wish. s/b 22.037
40.788
The closest I could get to the S2000, with the Motorsports Elise was +1sec.
I also, ran a S2000 prize car and it was different from the V.
Looser and in some sections, much faster. ie .4 down at T1, even at T2 and faster at the finish. Dirty though.
Mine doesn't show a chase view in replay (what's up with that?).
So, I'm reluctant to use it.

I've been up so long, I now feel very punchy and am no longer tired. It's gonna catch up. I hope I awaken before the deadline.
As always, good luck and have fun.
