Fox Hole has been one of the most deceptive sections where you WOT thru all the elevation changes and to a very high speed, which eventually leads to a very aggressive brake into a much tighter left-hand corner than you're able to see, actually a chicane which requires taking full advantage of the kerb on the left. Can't do it perfect without many lap practice. |
"Fox Hole" sounds like a route that's strictly for experts, not freshmen; I guess the driver was a little too overconfidence and took that plunge...
