    I may not be fast, but one thing I am consistantly told is that I pick up the line fast. The follow the leader session on a new track is for a reason, pay the fuck attention.

    Generally takes me 1/2 a session to learn 90% of a new track. Next 1/2 of the session and start of the next I dial in trouble points.

    Lap 1 you figure out which way the track goes
    Lap 2 you find the apex points
    Lap 3 you pick up the pace and start finding exit and enter points
    Lap 4 you are starting to pick up pace.

    Fine-tune. Always 1 or 2 'tricky' spots where you need to perhaps ask some advice or watch a local.
