Hook turns! That's term I was looking for! It always reminds of this drawing tool my dad had on his drafting table, the French Curve. Basically non-circular curve where tightest amount of turning is done early, to let you get on throttle sooner and "extend" straightaway earlier into corner. I could've used one to help me draw line through T14-15 above. Instead, I just traced over riders shown on course.



This also reminds me of turn-2 at Laguna Seca. For longest time I was hugging inside entering 2. Then I found video from Dave Moss where he shows to stay mid-track entering 2 to do late-apex coming out. Lets me get on throttle entering 2 instead of at exit.
