In order to make the last "turn" into a turn-in, pause and let the car track out to the outside, hold the arc for the 2nd apex, you need to make the first apex super late. By being on the first geometrical apex you won't be able to make a single arc through the entire turn.

Again, to do so you must give up a little bit of entry speed but the exit speed and ultimately terminal speed gained down the front straight will more than make up for the split second lost in the braking zone to the first half of the turn.

A friend of mine put it this way regarding T-Hill...A 1 mph difference at the exit to the straight will equal a 5 mph difference at the end of the straight.
