Pretty nice first time there! Bunch of stuff comes to mind, here are a couple of suggestions:
-use more of the first curb in the Bus Stop...like all of it
-get the car down to the rumble strip sooner, and hold it longer, in 5 (carousel)
-start turning in sooner for 9
-brake softer & start turning in sooner in 11
-no need to get the car so far track right setting up for 6

Agree with Dave above.
Also drive the car right down to the apex in 10.
Given the lap time with this car & R6s there's a lot of speed left on the table but your line perception is good and and job well done for first time at WG

thanks all. i struggled with the carousel initially b/c i would downshift to third approaching the bus stop and leave in third as i exit the carasoul and then go 4 and right back to 3 approaching 6. Once i started downshifting to 4 going into the bus stop and held 4 all the way to 7 the car felt more stable and i was able to carry more speed and produce quicker lap times. my concern with 5 was tighter radius = less speed so i was looking for that middle ground where i can keep my arc at a point where i can maximize the speed.
turn 11 gave me trouble the entire weekend as i felt like i was braking too hard going into it and lost too much speed on my top end down the front straight. Instead of stabbing at the brakes, perhaps i should trail gently to the apex at 11 and not scrub too much speed.

997.2 Cup at the Glen for your comparison. Last laps on a somewhat damp track at the end of the 1st IMSA race last year.
