    Alright guys this is my first time going to Gingerman. I heard it's a really fun fast pace track. Is there any pointers anyone can give that has ridden this track?

    For turn 3 use a very late apex
    For turn 5&6 take them as 2 separate turns and not 1 big one.
    Assume ice cream stand a few miles west of the track. http://shermanicecream.com/

    I second this. You can make the short straight from 2 - 3 longer by coming in towards the inside and waiting longer to turn into 3. Find an instructor. Have them show you the lines for a couple laps and then enjoy the heck out of that place!

    Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to riding this track for the first time. I hope to get my bump to I that weekend so I'm going to be really working hard.

    Best thing you can do is show up the evening before your track day and walk the track after it goes cold for the evening. Find someone who has been there before and they can talk you through reference points, brake points, exit points etc etc.

    I will be there with a small group for the weekend we typically walk the track every evening, feel free to join us.
