Roundabouts. So simple, yet so complicated.
So you're flat-out around the track, trying to save ~0.1s off your current times, and you're presented with this. This circular abomination that we call a roundabout.
What do you do? How do navigate this maze of cars waiting, then driving, then waiting again? Well, let me tell you!

Yes, this is a roundabout. No, stop crying, it's not that difficult to comprehend!
Seeing as here at [TC], we drive on the right, here's a guide as to how to navigate said roundabout!
1. Give way to traffic ON YOUR LEFT, and also traffic on the roundabout. be patient!
2. If turning right, move over to the right, and indicate right. Give way to any traffic, and move off.
3. If going straight-ahead, or the second exit, move over to the right once again, but do not indicate right. Give way to any traffic, and move on to the roundabout. Indicate right only after you have passed the entry to the first exit.
4. If turning left, or any subsequent turn after exit 2, move to the left, and indicate left. Give way to any traffic, and move on to the roundabout. After passing the exit before the exit you wish to take, indicate to your right, and complete the manuever.
Here's a little GIF so you can see these points in action.

NOTE:
- Don't stop when you're already on the roundabout! You may think you're being polite, but you're actually obstructing traffic flow.
