When you say slow exits, I assume you mean the hairpin and Casio (chicane)? If so, try exit in 3rd gear. Degner 2 exit in 4th also worked for me

Yes exactly those, especially hairpin. Exiting (fast) in 2nd is definitely doable on TC 1 whereas it's almost impossible on TC 2. Not sure how the two settings compare when exiting in 3rd but it worked well for me on TC 1 after I switched my approach.

Degner 2 in 4th works very well yes, but only if you hit the apex well and exit at about 145 kph. Personally this corner was very hard for me due to the high speed nature of the approach. I often bogged down way too hard and /or missing the apex. But of course then the lap is messed up anyways so not really relevant.

Does anybody have a good tip on how to get through Degner 1 consistently? The optimal line leaves absolutely no room for error. Either turn in too late and run wide or turn in too much, hit the curb and run wide.

I feel like to mitigate this I would have to actually break quite a bit which would lose many tenths I guess.

Right now this corner is an absolute lottery for me.

Here I finally got it working. I slam the pad stick to the right slightly after the 50 board to hit the apex right after the inside curb where I then do a micro lift.

The lift being ultra short is key here. If you just lift all the way you will understeer off. The power after the lift seems to increase ground effect or something to drag the car around.

Not lifting at all never worked for me either. I always overshot.
 
If I understand the car physics modeling accurately, maintenance throttle helps keep the car balanced, giving all 4 tires equal weight (mostly) and thus more traction over the entire car. This is especially evident in mid-engine and 4WD cars. A car that is neither and can really show this concept/action/reaction on RH tires around BMS Infield A, at almost every turn, is the Toyota Supra 3.0GT Turbo A '88. Your welcome to have a look at some replays that will be tagged with 20251109D1 or D2 and/or 20251116D1 or D2 to see it, if you didn't want to try it yourself.
