Comments: Although half of the track is two lane and having a 40 mph corner, Kyalami is a fast track; 7 out of 8 corners are 80 mph or faster. Lookout for turn 1, it squeezes down from 3 to 2 lanes. Use your wear wisely. To maximize speed on the front straight, burn wear in turn 7 and 8. Only 3 of the turns have racing lines; use them. Try to get ahead of traffic before entering the 2 lane section. Do not end your turn going 40 mph in the first block of turn 6. Use the line to go 60 mph or burn a wear.
