Yep, that.

There are a lot of places where the corner/kink is flat out if you know the circuit, but its blind in terms of seeing round it. If you don't know what's round the bend, you have to lift...

One important thing is to keep to the right and don't cut over to a left hand apex without checking your mirrors (often) - it doesn't take long for a quick car to be on top of you if he's flat out at twice your speed. But if you're on the right, then you can't go wrong and its on the other driver to move and pass safely. As you pick up speed, you can start to use the full width of the circuit more and more
