I love that turn. Lift off just before the sign on the right and then gently on the brakes until your in 2nd gear. Lift off the brakes and gentle tap on the throttle to get the front to turn into the apex.

Just for the record in the time trials i'm using med t/c, abs and manual gears.

In career i'm no assists and manual gears. I can adjust the setup to compensate for the crappy ps3 controller. Very little throttle/brake control compared to the 360 controler.
