imho there are a couple of things to avoid T1 dramas as much as possible, and i ve learned that the hard way at the begining, and still do.
- Train for the T1 braking point in standing starts which is gonna be a bit deeper than your regular braking point for this corner and make it secure. It doesn't sound like much but you ll see you can trim a good chunk of time with that on occasion. I believe this is actually the main reason people wreck T1 cause they assume since they are going slower they can brake later/ turn in earlier etc... and they don't judge it well cause they ve never tried it before the race.
- Try to stay on the inside, if a guy screw up and it's gonna happen.. he always gonna overshoot on the outside (well most of the time)
- Quick practice with the car to set the 1st gear right for it, cause anyway you won't probably ever use it in race, so make it as short as grip allow until it's too much spin, but you want a little.
- Don't look too much in the mirror, do your thing and concentrate on what's ahead.
- Better qualy is always good (!) people in the front generally know there s no point going in T1 like a maniac.
If everything keep on failing and you know you have an idiot behind, braketest the sh out of him
