For T1, up shift early if you have to but do get into 5th for that front straight, and take T1 in 4th.

As for T5, take it middle-left but you don't need to brake, just lift. Keep the steering straight until you're over the hump. Once over and the car is settled, get back on the throttle and do your thing with the steering wheel.

Hope this helps.

had a few other questions which maybe I should have asked anyone else who was around and available that day...

on the front straight, I was hitting top of 4th gear near the end of it and found upshifting to 5th let me carry a little more top speed, but then found myself only being there for a few seconds and then having to lose time on shifting. So I found myself at times staying in 4th and just holding at redline until braking point for turn 1. thoughts on which is better?

and in turn 5 (bypass), not sure where I should brake and where to get back on the throttle. I was told it was very similar approach to turn 3. But I tended to take it fairly conservatively.
