Sector 2: Sunrise
Called Sunrise because it's located at the east end of the front straight, it's a 90-degree left with a short burst of throttle before braking for Buttonhook. The inside suspension must soak up the torn-out sections of curbing at the apex, with limited steering kickback or change in traction. At track out, to maximize exit speed, the car will drift onto the mild outer curbing and deal with yet another bump, even with the suspension fully loaded.
