The key there is throttling off, just balance the car through the left and the right, then turn in early for the left-hander and get on the throttle to stabalise the car over the crest and kerb - good luck 👍

Don't know how this works but my door number was higher than my finish position, I'm really frustrated at this moment as it is almost impossible to climb ... of course there is a really high possibility for me to have reached my current skill cap but still, you should not lose points if you finish upfront .... especially if the door number version is true 
Couldn't have said it better myself! 👍
What a POS.!!!!!!!
At the end he reports me lol.
The results are in from my Nordschleife no qualifying marathon on rainy Sunday yesterday. I managed to squeeze in 30 races in 3 sessions. The best first, 6 wins of which 2 tanks to the penalty system (#1 lost position at the finish hence no fastest lap in those)
I've already detailed all the penalties I got here

That looks like a lot, yet to put it into perspective, that's the haul from 30 races.
The complete list:
Not qualifying turned out to be the biggest challenge on this track at DR.A especially. Instead of starting relaxed from the back it only got me starting in the backfield behind the slowest qualifiers (usually DR.D) yet in front of lower ranked drivers who, although usually not faster than me, were definitely faster than the slowest qualifiers I was starting behind. The first series of corners were often pretty stressful as the first safe passing opportunity is a faster corner exit on the way to Flugplatz, driving behind uncertain drivers with faster players right on my bumper. Matchmaking always manages to create the perfect storm.
There were a lot of people not qualifying, one room only had one person who set a lap time! Pole position by default. My starting position varied from as low as 4th to max 10th place.
The max possible SR gain at SR.S seemed to be 5.
My total SR gain was 72 in 19 out of 30 races.
Total SR loss was 83 in 9 out of 30 races. (1 neutral race)
On average -0.37 per race.
I barely beat the odds with a global average of -0.40 per race. Of course those odds are stacked to lower ranks (both SR and DR) as SR is more easily gained there and harder to lose. Max SR per race was apparently 12 at low SR, while only 5 at high SR.
Here is the full list of tracks by category for SR trends

(It's not that accurate anymore though as sprint races are lumped together with daily C races which have very different SR pools)
At the end of the day I ended on SR.A. Gained 1.5k DR overall, never lost DR.A, ended on 32581.
I love the Nordschleife, it's such a fun track. According to my course stats I've 'only' raced it 73 times total. It's a shame it's so rarely featured. My most raced track is currently Mount Panorama at 272, a Nordschleife light which is featured a lot more often.
Great day for racing thanks to the rain all day. I made some new friends and met some new villains. One of which I managed to beat in the race below. He's the one that drove me off the track a couple races earlier and called me a poor sport when I called him out on it.
He passed me in that race after crashing me to take third. In the race below I simply stay behind him (after he started ramming again) and let him take himself out, don't mess with the Mexican

you should not lose points if you finish upfront .... especially if the door number version is true
.
I often find the door number to be a bit fictitious. It all depends on what other ranks you have on your grid. I was on one race where I was DR/D with 1 point, I had DR/As and Bs in my race, I qualified P12 and had a door number 1
Is that Cars reference?
OK thanks. You can stop now.
I had a penalty and would've dropped back to 6th even if I defended the position.Eugh.
You couldn't have just defended the position?
Deliberate brake check to give the driver behind you a 10 sec penalty is just pure filth.
OK thanks. You can also stop now.
Those Gr2 cars are fun around Interlagos
Takes a couple of laps to get up to speed, but I am in 3rd and only 4 secs behind, I can make that up. Ok, closing in, only 3 seconds. OVERSTEER!
Crap, I am off the track, lose 7 spots and about 7 seconds. OK, we can still catch up, just concentrate.
Keep it smooth for a few laps, pit, come out in 8th, but only 11 seconds behind 1st.
Lets start picking them off! OVERSTEER!!
Caught it that time, but lost a couple of seconds. Repeat till end
Nice to have a Race C when I didn't really pay attention to the fuel mixture, just drove hard and pitted at roughly half way.
