Track Guide

Following is the guide to the major corners which you will have to look out for:

Corner #1

You will be in the eight gear when you approach the first corner of the circuit and what you want to do here is look for the 50 brake marker. Right at this marker, you need to shift down and make your way to the curb on the right side of the track.

Turn 1 - 1 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Brake and shift down at this brake marker to take the corner.

Maintain your car’s balance and slowly shift down to the 2nd gear when you approach the curb marked in the image below. Once you go over the curb on the left side, slowly start throttling. Ideally exiting this corner at 4th gear.

Turn 1 - 2 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Take the right curb and then the left curb while being in 2nd gear.

Corner #2

For the 2nd corner, you will be in 7th gear when you approach the 100 break marker. You need to start braking at the 100 brake marker and shift down to 2nd gear when making your way into the corner.

Turn 2 - 1 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Start braking at this brake marker.

Slightly avoid the curb on the right side (marked below), just get close enough to take the corner.

Turn 2 - 2 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Get close enough but don’t get on this curb.

Corner #3

Shift down to the 3rd gear when you enter the 3rd major corner of the track. Take the curb on the right and then move to the curb on the left side while still being in 3rd gear as you can see in the image below.

Turn 3 - 1 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Right curb and then left curb while being in 3rd gear.

Now for the 2nd part of this corner, take the right curb and then move onto the curb on the left side while shifting into 4th gear. Check the image below.

Turn 3 - 2 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Right curb and the left curb once again but this time open up on the left curb.

Corner #4

You will approach the 4th corner in 7th gear and when you reach the 100 brake marker, start braking and shift down to 2nd gear to tackle the corner.

Turn 4 - 1 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Start braking at this brake marker and shift down to 2nd gear.

This will be a tough curb (marked below) but you should be able to do it in 2nd gear. Afterwards, take the right curb while shifting into 3rd gear on exit.

Turn 4 - 2 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Take this hard left curb.

Corner #5

Now for the 2nd last corner of this circuit, you will be in 8th gear when you approach the 200 brake marker. From there, start slowing down and shift into 3rd gear on the 100 brake marker. And finally shift down to 2nd gear on the 50 brake marker.

Turn 5 - 1 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Shift down to 3rd gear at this marker.

Avoid the curb on the right side while you are in 2nd gear as you can see down below. Afterwards, open back up once you take the curb on the left side.

Turn 5 - 2 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap

Corner #6

This is the last major corner of this circuit, you will be approaching the 50 brake marker in 6th gear. From this point, shift into 5th gear.

Turn 6 - 1 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Shift down to 5th gear on this brake marker.

Take the curb on the left side as you can see in the image below while still being in 5th gear. Be careful not to go too wide on the exit of this corner.

Turn 6 - 2 - China Track Guide & Setup + Hotlap
Take this curb while being in 5th gear.
