As this is the single most important turn on the track, I spent a lot of time looking at data trying to find ways to improve. This is data from one of my best laps during the race. The red trace is throttle position. You can see my shift point coming out of the esses as the sharp initial drop. I'm back on the throttle, then lift a smidge (down to 30% - no brakes) before turn-in and then back wide open.
The lateral G tracing (yellow) shows oscillations between 1.2 and 1.3 Gs mid corner (mostly due to steering inputs, looking for grip at the traction limit). A better driver would probably have a much smoother lateral G tracing (less sawing on the wheel mid corner)
