I wasn't going to attempt 4th flat out, as the wall immediately to the left of turn 6 kept reminding me to play it safe
For me I took it generally in 4th... since I don't have a tune I am wary of getting up to redline in 3rd, so I generally shift up early (before 7K) and then hold it in 4th up the hill (after turn 5). Some of my faster laps I did 60-66 mph through turn 6. Braking from about 80mph. Turn 6 is pretty fun, because it is cambered you can carry a good amount of speed through it. I usually just tap the brake briefly, turn in and get on the gas as soon as I'm pointed at the apex.

But hell almost every turn at Laguna is a high speed turn. Average speed of 75mph. EDIT: Not average corner speed, but overall average speed through the track
