Track Guide | Zolder

• 11 corners
• Length 4.010km (2.492mi)
• Location: Heusden-Zolder, Belgium
• Overtaking Corners: T1 – T4 – T6 -T9 – T11

T1

• Get as close as possible to the outside wall to maximize your entry into T1.
• Braking reference: Last flag before the overhead board.

• Focus on early throttle application and keeping the rear stable.
• Progressive throttle application can help with power oversteer (If you have any).

T2

• Short braking zone.
• On some cars, one downshift is enough to take the corner.
• Focus on your turn-in point and exit.

• Be careful with the curb on the right, it can unsettle the car.
• Don’t go too wide on the exit, the curb is bumpy.

T3

• Flat-out corner.
• Do not touch the grass on the corner exit.
• Coming out of the corner, focus on your braking point for T4.

T4

• Fast corner.
• Some cars are more stable downshifting once just before the turn in.
• Focus on corner exit, don’t go too wide.
• Avoid the sand. (It is better to be cautious than ambitious.)

T5

• Hard braking zone.
• With most of the cars, 3 downshifts are enough to take the chicane.
• Use the 100 board and the light pole as braking references. 

• Focus on corner exit.
• Can be taken in two ways:
  • Turn in early and go over the curbs (can make the car very unstable and it´s very risky)
  • Turn in late and avoid going over the HUGE curbs.
• Experiment with different racing lines as some cars react different over the curbs.

T6

• Flat-out corner.
• The change of elevation and a small bump in the middle of the corner can trigger the Traction control.

T7 (3 turns)

• Hard braking zone.
• Trail braking can help to get a good entry angle into the first corner of the chicane.

• Fast direction changes (3 turns)
• Track limits are very sensitive, be careful.
• Do not go wide on the second corner of the chicane.
• Focus on corner exit for the 2^nd corner to get a good entry for the 3^rd corner.

• Treat T7 as one unit.
• All three corners flow together, meaning that setting yourself up for a good entry will result in an excellent exit.
• Focus on the 3^rd turn exit.

T8

• Flat-out corner.
• Be careful with track limits and understeer on corner exit.

T9

• Hard braking zone.
• Trail brake as much as you can.

• Be careful with the inside curb, it’s very bumpy.
• Avoid going too wide or touching the grass, you can get a puncture.
• Focus on corner exit.

T10

• Flat-out “chicane”.
• Do not go over the grass, you can get a puncture.

T11

• Hard braking zone.
• Use the 100 board and light pole as braking references.

• Be careful with the curb, you can cut it, but it is bumpy.
