I think you could cary like 10 mph more thru the bus stop which you'd carry all the way down into the laces. That is huge amounts of time. Maybe not something you want to play with in your daily driver though I don't blame you. If the car feels hooked up through a turn, there is more speed available. It should feel like it is floating and skating a bit, ideally induced at turn in with a smooth brake release.
Am glad to hear this as feel like I never have real "grip" anymore and am moving/sliding around quite a bit and playing that balance game now more than worried about line and braking points. Will get to the glen one of these days
