Yeah, I actually printed out those guides and reviewed them after every session. It makes more and more sense the more you get comfortable to the track. Too bad they cover the Star Mazda turn rather than the sweeper.

With the sweeper, in the CCW direciton , I remember touching the last of the Esses outside right berm, then turned into that triagular berm which leads ot the sweeper. From there, I took the sweeper with a late apex, similar to the the line of Turn 2 @ Thunderhill. Dunno if that was correct, but I had good exit speed with that.

In the other direciton, I did something different. I stayed around the middle for most of the sweeper, then I experimented and started going a bit more outside near the end of the sweeper so I could prepare to enter the esses with a better speed. Dunno if that's right either, but it seemed fastest to me.
