come out of the last corner and you're into a new lap, the start/finish straight is very short and before you know it, you're already through turn 1 which is flat at around 180mph and once you're through that, you're rapidly approaching turn 2 which is a tight right-hander, tighter than 90 degrees just, but the track falls away slightly - good overtaking point, the track gets wider now and leads into the 2nd part of turn 2 which is a flat-out accelerating corner which leads into a short straight.
once you're on this straight, the track flattens out and turn 3 is up ahead - this is really an approach corner to turns 4+5 but, after turn 3, you've got time before the next corner - turn 4 is a fast 90 and there is a short run up to 5 where it is nearly flat with a short straight to turns 6 and 7 - which are much like turns 4+5 but turn 6 is tighter and turn 7 is flatter-outter. you go into turn 8 which is flat-out and into a long straight which is very wide. cars reach up to 205mph here before the hairpin turn 9 which is a stunning overtaking zone if ever there was one, after this stunning corner, we have a long accelerating corner, turn 10 and a short-medium sized straight into the super-fast turns 11+12 which are taken at near gastronomical speeds of 160-170mph with a short straight between turn 12+the long turn 13 make the approach to turn 14 and very fast one. turn 13 is a gut-wrenching humdinger of a corner - cornering speeds rivalling 4Gs. turn 14 is a light hairpin right, but a good overtaking zone, and now into the mighty lake straight - nigh-on 40 seconds of full-throttle MADNESS!!! speeds in excess of 210mph here for a long time, great slipstreams, and into the turn 15 and run-in to turn 16 the last corner of the track, still doing 210mph when you reack braking - perhaps the most hair-raising braking ever, stunning overtaking and into another lap.
