I just tried it and my best time (at last lap, the 31st lap) was 1:26.465. It took me a while to get this time. I had several 1:27.5xx laps but some were clean and some with touching the wall a little. Then I had a 1:27.1xx and I was gonna call it a day, but since I almost parked it at the hairpin turn in that run, I knew there was a little bit more time out there. So I kept playing until that last lap. It was a clean lap, and I don't think I can shave anymore time off this.
I found the fast line to attack the last S turn before the start/finish. The key is to go real slow (still in 2nd gear) into the right hander, and stay to the right on exit. This will set you up for the last turn (the left hander) without even hitting the brake. Just let off the throttle a bit, make sure to clip the apex, then let the car drive wide, almost hitting the outside wall on the exit. You'll be amazed how much time you can shave off if you take this line.
