One the bike I was only hitting about 135-138 on the front straight (thanks to 14/15), if memory does serve me well the end of the pit wall was the off the throttle marker, I tried to brake and downshift early to get the suspension settled and back on the throttle at turn in and somewhat aggressive on the throttle through the apex. I think the apex speed was "around" 85-95 mph hitting about 110-115 mph before T2

So my braking and throttle applications were slightly earlier than other turns.

T8 was a downshift and trailing throttle setting up for the apex with no brake since the V-twins I was riding have a reasonable amount of engine braking.

Don't know if that helps or is applicable for a car?

I know one thing for sure............I'd love to have four tires on the ground through T3! No trust of that corner whatsoever on a bike, especially with the deteriorating surface on the inside racing line. <Insert chicken sounds here>
