Not an expert here, but trying to learn how to extract that little extra speed. So what I see is that after turn-in you get on the gas too early, resulting in having to get off the gas and back on it again. Avoid that, you are transfering weight back and forth, doesnt help you go faster. Everytime you got on the gas and then had to go back out of it, its a mistake, you got on it too hard, or too early. On the turn he passed you its a prime exemple, he was not really gaining on you, more like side by side, the moment you had to lift he went by, my guess is that he did not lift.

Driving style aside, Im pretty sure A7s have more grip than R7s. I know its for classing purposes, but I dont think putting 245 R7s on 7" wheels is doing you any favours. I think you would be faster on a smaller tire and would also get it into working temperature faster.
