apex further round than it looks. That said, my hat is instantly doffed to anybody who can get a 911 round that corner without engaging with the scenery. There is a vicious off camber crown which is almost designed to upset a 911.

That's a useful insight re the apex, thanks. I probably do come in too much from the left, whereas keeping to the right also has the benefit of the escape road if I overcook it, which I always forget about being there!
