  Hi,
  
  can anyone offer some advise on how to turn the corners in Irohazaka? I've seen people turn the corners at around 108km/h on average...
  
  how do I do that?
  
  Please help!
  
  Thanks!

  try looking up the page by kohanson on this. it has a map and all the speed requirements to take all those hairpins.
  
  some suggestions:
  1) take the first 3 hairpins in 3rd gear.
  2) Dont hit the walls.
  3) Use the out in out method as suggested by Kohanson on his pages
  4) most hairpins taken at 100+ kph no need to use brake. just release your accelerator will do.

  Whether or not you need to shift down a gear depends on the approach speed before a turn or hairpin. If you brake really hard, chances are you need to drop down a gear to come out of the turn faster.
  
  If just releasing the peddles, then you probably need not shift down and stay in fourth. I assume you are using the integra.
  
  To cut across (the 'shortcut') the brown patch, usually you will be in 3rd gear doing anywhere from 80+ kph to 90+ kph.
  
  Hope this helps.
