So, back to turn 5 strategy, you’re wot from 4 in 4th gear and what about your braking marker for 5th?

I kept over braking for turn 5. Combo of still learning and my front tires being totally shot. From looking back at some of my laps, I think the sequence should be hitting turn 5 around 110+ in 4th, braking hard closer to marker 2 (or 2.5ish?) and apexing the turn at 70+. Instead, I either eased up on the gas around 100 or started braking near marker 3 (or both) and often apexed turn 5 at 60ish, which makes the turn 5->turn 6 straight awkward in 4th gear. Basically, turn 5 is a faster turn than I gave it credit for.
*The above is probably all wrong (i.e., too slow) because I haven't figured out turn 4 yet either =)
Really looking forward to going back with fresh front tires. How were you taking that sequence of turns?
