Turn 1: you can enter with more speed, stay tighter and closer to the wall on the left.
Turn 2: You can late apex this and can probably negotiate the turn without braking, just a lift of the throttle will probably do
Turn 3: Track out to the curbing and widen the angle entering into 4
Turn 4: looks ok
Turn 5: Stay closer to the wall on the right, use the curbs on the left
Turn 6: Track out wider, look at where all the skid marks are....your car should be there
Turn 7: You can sacrifice this apex in exchange for a straighter line into turn 8, providing yourself with a mini straight away
Turn 8: Track out wider, again look at where the tire marks are
Turn 9: You are turning in way too early and staying too tight, this is killing your minimum speed through here and your line for the next turn
Turn 10: Track out to the wall on the left, brake late and turn in sharply towards the apex with the tires standing up on the right

The next few turns are a loop, so just review 6 through 9.

In general you're not using enough of the track and you're missing some apexes while hitting others that arent as important.

Also this course is weird since you drive a section of it twice and it's difficult to know where the finish line is. Is it the tire barrier chicane at the end?

Just my $.02, hope that helps
