Stay right? Flashers (or left blinker)?

Well it really depend on the situation.
Blinker is not usually a good thing as it might mislead the guy behind you.
Stay on the right ? not good neither.
Usually the "local" guys are well aware of the tourist in a busy tourist day.
But Franzino did really well in his video.
He put the blinker to indicate the white e92 to pass him.
The white bmw didn't pass him so he remove the blinker !! to avoid any confusion.
At minute 4:30 he took the "racing" line for the corner but immediately after the corner he slightly slow down and stay on the inside of the corner. At this point the white bmw understood and pass him.
So in the long straight line you can put your blinker and stay on the right.
In more "slow" section remove your blinker take the "racing" line take your time and stay on the inside after each corner if you see someone fast behind you.
You will not be blame for that even if some of the locals try to beat they lap time they will come back on the less busy day and hope for the perfect lap.
