I have been studying it extensively in prep for 2020. Depressing how many tenths i can save.

At the same time my g-sum is decent as far as transitioning maintaining over 1.1 during the whole turn. I think/hope I can get to 1.3.
I used to think high g-force was a good thing to see in every corner. Not so much anymore. If you have forward/acceleration G through a turn you won;t be at max lateral G. So, only a very small moment in each turn should spike to peak lateral G and the rest should be sharing braking or acceleration G's. Unless you are in a steady state long sweeper aka maintaining the same steering input through the corner for an extended period like you would on a skidpad.
Good points. i will review the corners with your information in mind.

The track I am analyzing does have a long 50mph corners so either I will make these "pointier" or it is indeed a sweepers with constant g-sum.

Lots to learn in 2020. I can't wait for March 28th to come soon enough
