The tricky part is the turn in to it and the line through it. It
ain't natural, it's a compromise caused by the right turn you just
came out of and the speed you are carrying. But it's OK when you're
used to it.

You're talking about my favorite turn on that track. If you don't get
a little airborne at the crest of the hill, you didn't take that
corner as fast as you should have.
