I think you can gain another second here. I was looking at this site
http://website.lineone.net/~richardn/#Intro last night and reading about
trailbraking, and made a conscious effort to use it here, and gained a full
second.
You can use it on the first three turns after the finish line, and several
of the turns in the 2nd half of the track, including the one before the
finish line.

You can also use it on that turn after the pit straight on Mexico. It looks
like your problem on that track tho is taking the 1st right-hander after the
hairpin too slowly. You lose almost 2seconds to me on that one turn.

This is using Hine's Rouen Ferr setup. This car understeers in a turn
unless you ride the brakes, just like she says on that same site.
On the mexico turn (using Hine's Cooper) (the one at the end of the short
straight after the hairpin) I just miss the tire on the right in 3rd gear,
correct to the left slightly to compensate for the banking of the road that
tends to make you go off the road on the right, then turn sharply into the
tires on the left and downshift twice with a lot of tire squealing. I
haven't checked the track guide yet to see if that's the right technique.

What a pity Surtees never figured that out <g>
