Also, I'd recommend (not that you asked) that you practice staying away from the center line. Unlike a track, it's best to not let your tires get left of about the middle of the lane on the left curves. You're leaning left at that point, so if you want your head to stay in the lane, your tires have to be over in the middle.
So that turn can be treated as a double apex and when I tipped in I tensed a bit (IDK why )and as soon as I tensed up I started target fixating on the outside edge of the road.

and yeah it wasn't quite as bad in person as it looks on the videos. Early that weekend when the car guys were still there you really had to watch your left handers!
