Something I learnt last time. If it's your first time, or a more cautious driver, or have a slower car (GTS-T / GTT is classed as this) then hang to the back when the pack leaves APR.
I was 3rd or 4th in the Q last time and let me tell you, there's nothing worse than having a purple GTR up your arse 1/2 the mountain then having him put you to shame when the overtaking lane appears.
No laws where broken while creating the above story.
I bought a 2way for work today. if anyone else has one take it, just in case.
