Phew... A small change in our entry to 2 will fix that easily. Apex a bit later for the first apex, and don't be afraid to get the car all the way over to the left... like you are clipping an apex at Monaco in the 2017 Ferrari F1 car. Just a tiny bit more turn-in after the first apex and gas gas gas should hook you up to hit the 2nd apex with grace... I tend to mess up the entry into 3 because I am so happy when I get it right. The feeling is amazing!

I'm trying to think of a more thrilling sensation than feeling a car hook up on full throttle after the "hump" in turn 2, clip the apex at 2b and then rocket out over to the turtles before turn 3, but I can't
It really is the best.
My favourite corner
(What makes it even more thrilling is understanding what happens when you get it wrong --- Like, having to track out to the right of the exit turtles, on the marbles, in full pucker mode )

I am happy to help you with notes but keep in mind that Mosport doesn't have a lot of useful external cues that can be captured on paper. Much better to go right seat and use video.
Also very important to do a track walk, particularly to appreciate elevation changes. That will help you with less brake in 5a
