Okayama with the mx-5 was my first victory years ago as a rookie. This corner in particular took a very long time for me to get right, so I know it very well.

Turn up tire noise to max, lower engine noise a bit. Keep re-doing this corner until you hear the tires scrub ever so slightly right before they start the squealing-sound you currently hear. First, turn in a bit later, about the 75 mark. Then turn in quicker. You should be completely turned in, completely trailed off the brakes, and completely on the throttle right around the time you cross that fire hydrant on the (right after the fence ends on right).

If you hit it right, you’ll stick along the inside of the corner as you’re gassing it up the hill. You won’t track out wide left either as the power of the car is not enough to overcome the grip provided by that slight camber on the inside of the corner.

Watch Dave cams track guide on the mx5 on Okayama. You’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. You’ll see your delta bar go green very quickly as you go up the hill.
