Late apexing in a series of turns is a good idea if it sets you up for a faster overall line.

I’ll walk through how I drive that place from start to finish, it isn’t necessarily correct, but did me well this time out.

Start, make left at full throttle, shift to second (where I stay for the entire course)  
1st monza stay tight, exit tight  
slight late apex for right hander into pear, carry out to outside, break, late apex right turn, carry to outside (inside of monza)  
tight entry to monza, accelerate very very early, carry to outside at exit.  
Brake, late apex left turn  
no brakes, right turn ‘race line’  
little lift, ‘race line’ left turn  
slight brake, late apex left turn onto straight  
hold foot to floor, take a drink, eat a few wings  
enter monza 1 from ‘middle lane’, hold it tight through the exit, same line through the ‘pear’, very late apex on right, slowing way down to make left at finish, no ‘line’ there, just shortest distance the car will let me take. A push at that slow speed can be really costly
