However, the first turn is a 40 mph or so turn, so you better have the brakes or it's gravel pit and concrete retaining wall for you. People have died at that turn, I believe the last one was a high horsepower mustang that had 800hp in the engine with little to no additional braking or suspension mods.

Man, BSR really are cracking down on reckless drivers. That mustang was sometime ago and now days seems like few people die every year there. Specially now with new widen pavement which is much faster. I guess drivers just need to realize the limits of their cars and skill level. I was shocked that some drivers don't have the feel of the tires until it is too late.
also, coming out of turn 2 now carries so much more speed. i was hitting the rev limiter in third gear in e46 m3. also, that nasty bump under bridge is much less as well.
