MALLORY PARK

1 Kirby straight

You’ll be hitting the Kirby Straight at a fair rate of knots while being on the right hand side of the track, so as you cross the start/finish line, look to make your way over to the left hand side – ideally before you arrive at the bridge.

2 Gerard’s

Gerard’s is an incredibly tough corner to master, so don’t rush it and make sure you build up your speed throughout the day. This is because it’s such a long sweeper you have to trail brake on entry, and you’ll always be chasing the front on the way in – so this isn’t the place to practice late braking either. Aim to hit the brakes justthings will get a bit un-nervy on exit; the trick is to be as upright as soon as possible and gassing hard. Use all the track on exit, but avoid the kerbs.
