OK, for 710 freaks here ... the trick was not only the gearing but also the pipe. Which pipe? Well, ask Mark ... see if the old man remembers.
Ehmm.......

You have a good point there. I think you have to take that s-bend in front of the driver's stand wide and then enter the chicane from a wide angle (see the video how NiMo does it). My habit is never to do that which I think is a mistake.
I found my best entry into the chicane was from a shallow angle at the first apex, which meant I didn't really have to steer right at the first apex and at the mid part of the chicane, I only needed a little bit of steering input to the left before coming out and turning right.
If you see what I mean?
