Just watched it now and made some notes. You get on the power a bit early in some places and if you can master gentle braking you will knock alot off your times  You can do it with the throttle so no reason you can't get the hang of it for the brakes too. Hold on a min and i'll type my scribbles

Map for reference  1- Braking point spot on. With gentle braking you can brake at 70m. Applied the throttle abit early. Apply afer the apex then you wont go wide. 2-spot on 3-go abit wider and turn in later 4- No need to brake on the straight. Just lift 5- spot on. power all the way through 6- braking point fine again but on the throttle too ealry. Wait till the apex or after 7- spot on 8&9 good. If you applied the brakes gently the car would have been more stable and you you wouldn't of had that moment on the entry to 8 which slowed the exit down alot. 10&11 How you should take a hairpin  Hope that helps a little bit.

Nice work Micky, loving the map! From what I've heard and read about racing (could be total crap though  ): The exit to a corner is far more important than the entrance Don't put the power on after a corner until your sure you don't need to lift off again (to prevent going wide)

By driving at it full pelt, slamming brakes on, lots of power through corners I go about 3seconds a lap quicker....
