Ok so my time for Interlagos was 1:13.064
Sector 1
Turn 1: Coming down the Start/Finish straight begin braking at the 100m marker down to 2nd gear. If you are going too fast you will not get a good line into turn 2. Turn in once you are in 3rd gear, let off the brake and get down to 2nd as you approach the corner.
Turn 2: Past the apex get on the gas and you should be able to get into 3rd going around the corner. You might need to let off just a little but should be able to take this one flat out.
Turn3: Flat Out. Continue down the straight.
Sector 2
Turn4: Begin braking at the 100m marker down to 2nd turn in at about 75m. Feather the gas through the corner and you should be able to get back to 3rd as you exit the turn.
Turn5: Flat Out
Turn6: Brake slightly just before the 50m mark (60-75m) taking you from 6th to 4th gear.
Turn7: Accelerating through stay in 4th, hit 5th on the exit. Throttle control is important to stay on the track here.
Turn8: Brake when you are about halfway along the curbing on the left side, taking you from 5th down to 1st gear. On the exit get up to 2nd but then let off the gas as you head into turn 9.
Turn9: Very careful with the throttle stay with the rubber and accelerate on the exit to 3rd and then 4th gear.
Turn10: Brake when the curbing starts on your right and get down to 1st gear. Accelerate slowly and you should exit in 2nd gear.
Turn11: Flat out. Should be at 5th gear for turn 12
Turn 12: Brake at around 75m halfway between the blue stuff and the 50m mark. You can make the turn in 2nd but it is better to get down to 1st so you have a good exit into S3 since it is flat out. I am in 2nd very quickly after the apex.
Sector 3
Turns 13, 14 & 15: FLAT OUT!! Follow the rubber and get close to the left wall on turn15 taking the shortest route through these corners saves a lot of time.
Notes: You are much safer to break a tad early, it seems to me like this track is all about being ready for the next corner. I have tried to push it through a lot of the turns only to end up on the curbs or on a bad line through the next turn.
