Garda & Senna

Garda:

Garda is a critical corner

The biggest mistake made by drivers unfamiliar with the circuit is to turn in too early for Garda and then inevitably run wide on the exit and off-camber area. Stay left as you come up Damon Hill and don’t even think about turning in when you first spot the kerb to your right. A late turn-in lines you up with the last two sections of the apex kerbing and allows a more-or-less straight line exit as you head down towards Senna Chicane. Get Garda right and you will carry speed all the way to Conways. Get it wrong and you will be helpless as others pass you during the next few sections.

Senna Chicane:

The Senna Chicane

Take Senna Chicane smoothly and use the whole track as the harder you turn the wheel, the more the tyres stress and the less speed you will carry up the hill. Clip the apex kerb at Senna Chicane and allow the kart to run wide on the exit. This gives a perfect straight line approach up Herbert Rise and sets the kart up nicely for the final turn of the lap.
