If I take it on 4th gear and less than 3500 RPM, and just focus on not hitting the brakes too hard, I can do this in the picture (48.7) but I can't accelerate quickly. (first picture)
But If I come on third gear and 5000 rpm I am too apprehensive with the throttle and I brake too much or not accelerating mid corner enough. (second picture)

Try staying in 3rd gear and manage the last bit of speed reduction with the throttle (slight lift before the apex). That will induce the car to rotate (assuming you are at the limit). Since your foot is already on the throttle, add throttle to put weight back on the rear wheels and continue to full throttle as you unwind the wheel.
