Your instructor coached you well.
A couple quick points I noticed:
- When you are preparing for T3, try changing your hand positions. Instead of keeping you hands at 3 and 9 o'clock, put your left hand a 12 o'clock, and your right hand at 5 o'clock. You might want to do this before you start braking for the turn. This works really well for some cars because your arms will not be crossed over / hand-over-hand while you are in the turn, and that gives you a lot more fine control during the turn.
- Downshift to 2nd when you are braking into T7a. You're taking T7a / T7b / T8 in 3rd gear where your car doesn't have very much torque. You're setting yourself up for the front straight in T8 / T9, and you're setting yourself up for T8 in T7a / b. When you have more jump and is ready to pounce coming up to T9, you'll be much faster by the end of the front straight.
- Aim wide when exiting T9. At any given time, your front tires only has a limited amount of traction. If you use more of it for turning, you have less of it for acceleration. If you take a tight line exiting T9, you're asking your front tires to turn more and accelerate less. Aim wide on the T9 exit (towards the outside concrete wall) means you are asking your front tires to turn less and accelerate more. It'll pay big dividends since you're speeding into the front straight. The longer distance from going wide doesn't matter very much since the higher speed at the end of the straight will more than make up for your loss (of time) from going wide in the beginning.
