Hi,

thanks for all the good comments/input.
I think my main takeaway is that I keep on making the same mistake, which is getting on the throttle too early (and too hard) and then backing off again (= chickening out). Will also do less threshold braking.
The reason why I take turn 9 in they way I did it in the video is that: I used to do the other line which was suggested, but after I switched to the new line, my exist speed from 9 (and consequently entry speed into 10) was way higher than before (I had to adjust my braking into 10). I don't race so I don't have to protect the apex, so no issues here. My next "task" is to get on the gas much earlier in 10 and take advantage of the banking of that turn.

Think trick is to have higher speed when using lower line.
I like going tighter than Winders there

In my car, I use a line that has me to the left of center. My car's speed to grip ratio entering 9 does not require entering from right of center so I don't waste the time driving out there.

Different car/driver combinations will have different optimal entries for that corner.
