My fuel would cut out after taking a sweeping uphill turn into a straight away and would die out at about 6000-6500 rpm for about two seconds then kick back in.
Uphill right-handers are the worst possible scenario given the pickup location. Higher RPM's are sucking more fuel which is why it is more likely to happen, but even up shifting early it will still happen just a lap or 2 later. For the Glen all the esses are uphill and there are a couple of other slightly uphill right-handers.
