Two corners taken as one, turning the car through more than 180 degrees, and tightening towards the exit.

| 01 | Softer front anti-roll bar · Garage Lets the front axle roll and build slip angle, adding front grip as the car takes its set. Watch: Slower initial response; more roll to wait through. | 1 click | Garage |
| 02 | Lower front tyre pressure · Garage Bigger front contact patch. Verify against carcass temps rather than guessing. Watch: Fronts run hotter and fall off later in a stint. | 0.5 psi | Garage |
| 03 | Stiffer rear anti-roll bar · Garage Takes rear grip away to shift balance toward rotation. Watch: Check exit traction afterwards. | 1 click | Garage |
| 04 | More front negative camber · Garage Keeps the loaded front tyre flat at full roll. Only helps if the outer shoulder is running hot. Watch: Weaker straight-line braking. | 0.1° | Garage |
| 05 | Open the wheel and wait for it · Drive Mid-corner push is a front tyre being asked for more angle than it has grip for. Less angle is more grip, and the car comes back to you. Watch: Requires trusting the car for about half a second. That is the hard part. | ⅛ turn | Drive |
| 06 | Use the full width on entry · Drive A wider entry makes the corner's radius larger, which is the only way to ask less of a front tyre without going slower. Watch: Needs the room to be there. Check your mirrors first. | 1 car width | Drive |
| 07 | Hold one steady input · Drive Sawing at the wheel through a corner never lets the front tyre settle at a slip angle, so it spends the whole corner somewhere below its best. Watch: None. A quiet wheel is faster almost everywhere. | 1 input | Drive |
| 08 | Slow the entry, wait for the car · Drive Overdriving the entry saturates the front tyre into understeer you cannot unwind before the exit. Watch: None — costs nothing to test. | 5 km/h | Drive |
Front-engined, rear-drive rookie car: technique leads, and throttle control on exit matters most; high speed, so aero is live here.
