For me it was 1) braking much earlier than normally (probably looked at Mustangs and followed their example); 2) the late single apex in 8 is almost .4 seconds slower than double-apex (diagonal braking to the first curb, coming away, and then accelerating to the second curb); 3) now this one is a mystery - I had higher exit speeds out of 5 B than ever before, but then by the end of the back straight I was slower by about 8-10km/h - not sure how it's possible given that I did not lift - heatsoak, dirty air filter?
I found that I was having grip issues yesterday with my NT05's also.The track was very green as there were only motorcycles for the last 2 weeks and lots of rain on Monday.There was a strong headwind going up the straight which might have been your speed issue.
