Overview
Mirror Chicane has 8 corners, 2 right-hand and 6 left-hand, turning through 720° in total on a 304 m lap. The tightest corner has a 14 m radius, and there is one hairpin. At 19 m wide it is mid-width: space for a slide, not for a wide one.
To beat the target you need an average of 35.0 s a lap. Corners swap direction, so the transitions between them decide the lap.
Corner by corner
| # | Corner | Turns | Angle | Radius | How to take it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sweeper | left | 90° | 26 m | Fast sweeper. Enter with speed and a small angle; too much angle here only costs time. |
| 2 | Corner | left | 90° | 18 m | Medium. Tap in before the apex and hold a moderate angle with the throttle. |
| 3 | Chicane | left | 45° | 16 m | Kink / flick. Barely a corner: a quick weight swing, keep the throttle pinned and link it into the next one. |
| 4 | right | 90° | 16 m | Medium. Tap in before the apex and hold a moderate angle with the throttle. | |
| 5 | left | 45° | 16 m | Kink / flick. Barely a corner: a quick weight swing, keep the throttle pinned and link it into the next one. | |
| 6 | Hairpin | left | 180° | 14 m | Hairpin. Brake before it, flick the handbrake early and rotate the car hard; drive out on the throttle. |
| 7 | Left | right | 90° | 14 m | Tight. Short handbrake tap, big steering angle, patience on the throttle. |
| 8 | Fast | left | 90° | 24 m | Fast sweeper. Enter with speed and a small angle; too much angle here only costs time. |

Tips
- Drive one clean lap first: any wall contact restarts the run, and your ghost only records runs you finish.
- Once you have a personal best, race its ghost and watch the checkpoint splits to find the corner that costs you time.
- Use the width: a wide entry lets you start the slide early and carry more speed through the apex.
