Ok, lets do a quick lap.

After crossing the Start/Finish line on a flying lap you’ll approach the South Banking at about 200 mph. Stay about a car width above the inside yellow line and be ready for "the bump". If you’re too low the bump may cause you to get a wheel on the flat part of the track and you’ll be history. Need I mention that the right foot has been firmly planted for some time now and needs to stay that way? As you leave the South Banking, you’ll notice that the road forks up ahead. Stay to the left at this point – the "entrance" to the North Banking here is a fake. (As a general rule, if the North Banking looks flat, stay left and go to Curva Grande. If you can see the banking sticking up, go right to the North Banking.)

Curva Grande is a little tighter than you’re used to, as well as being a bit narrower. You’ll be cruising along at about 202 mph on the approach. At the 3rd marker brake hard and drop to 4th. Feather the throttle a little and try for a good strong exit.

Della Roggia is also tighter than Monza, but you can run it flat in 4th if you hit the apex properly.

Brake for the 1^st Lesmo between marker 1 & 2 and drop to 2^nd gear.  The Lesmos will feel very familiar to everyone.  As usual, the launch off of Lesmo II is all-important, and “look Ma, no car-eating hedge”.

Vialone (a.k.a. Ascari) is quite a bit different from what you are used to. It is a mid-4th gear corner, sort of a Curva Grande to the left. Brake at marker 2 and use about the same speed as Curva Grande.

This is the 20’s, and Parabolica doesn’t exist yet. Instead we have Curva Poca (the "Little Curve"). It’s banked at about 10 degrees, and can hold some serious speed, but watch the flattening exit. The exit here is critical for lap times, as you are about to spend the next 6 km at full throttle. Brake at marker 3 and drop to 3rd. Don’t hesitate to run wide on the exit, especially if you’re trying to break the draft of a pursuing car. You’ll really like this one.

As you leave Curva Poca you’ll see the North Banking looming ahead. That is your signal to go there. The North Banking is pretty smooth so you can run right on the inside yellow line if you like. When you get to the S/F line, rinse, lather and repeat.... welcome to Milano!
