Strange turn enumeration in Motec again, but we'll go with it (example - T1 is officially the kink in the pit straight).  A great track once you get it going, you're pretty busy all the way round, but the whole thing seems pretty fast.

Turn Notes

Turn	Description	Entry	Apex	Exit	Gear	Comment
1	Double left				2	There's extra space to the right on the approach that you can use. Ideally treat as a double apex, but remember the exit is more important than the entry.
2	Right				3	Sweep through in 3rd, watch out for the risk of running wide with some risk of spinning to the inside
3	Right				4	Get the apex late enough to mitigate the risk of running wide on exit
4	Left				3	Easy left
5	Left				4	Take the kink in 4th or 5th. Slightly blind approach so practice is important to find the timing. It's fast, so just slightly too early or too late will have you on the sand
6	Corkscrew				2	The most famous turn on the circuit. Into 5th approaching the crest, keep left, brake and let the car move to the right as the track starts left. Off the brake at the crest as the car goes light, then back on and into 2nd. TAke the first apex quite early to straight line the turn and hang on down the hill. With this setup, it all seems ok, but this track is Stability Central so check your TC and SC.
7	Left				3	Don't run to wide on entry, there's no grip at the track edge and you'll just head off into the boonies. Otherwise
8	Right				3	Easy right.
9	Left				1	Slow left, so late apex for a fast exit onto the long straight
