Martin Kronke takes the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH around Fuji for Week 3 of the IMSA series, picking up the action from Turn 8.
Hard on the brakes into the Dunlop Chicane (T8-T9), he trails off to rotate through the tight right-left complex before powering uphill. Managing Sector 3's tricky grip, he balances the car on a knife-edge through the off-camber Supra Corner (T13). Threading the needle through Netz Corner (T14-T15), he sets up a wide entry to hug the apex of Panasonic Corner (T16), maximizing traction to rocket down the massive 1.5-kilometer pit straight.
* Use the curb to widen entry
* Brake hard at the board, modulate into the apex
* Cut through the anticut, stay tight for next corner
* Lift to rotate, cut curb again, straighten the car for early power
* Brake at the grass, very late apex for better drive
* Lightly on curb, open up on exit using full track
* Open up, light braking to maintain balance
* Late apex for straight run and early throttle
* Don’t use curb on exit to prevent wheelspin
* Very wide line, patient set up for late turn-in
* Focus on exit speed down straight
* Straightline the car for max momentum down the straight
