Det jag funderar lite på är hur många av förarna (om nån alls egentligen) som fått ett bra grepp om hur banan funkar? Som jag fattat det, baserat på citatet nedan, så verkar COTA vara en bana som är extremt svår att förstå sig på.

You need to be in the right place to approach the coming corner, but that does not mean that you arrive in the right place from the previous one. On a truly flowing track, like Phillip Island, Mugello, parts of Assen, each corner places you naturally where you need to be for the next, and you can focus your mind on getting the most out of that turn. At Austin, you need to concentrate, force the bike to get over to the correct point on the track, aim the bike at the exit point you want for the next corner, not the best one for this. Phillip Island flows naturally, Austin, the riders say, flows unnaturally.
