First let me say that this "anomaly" was seen by all drivers in that
the uphill run to T6 was the fastest part of the track.
I went back and looked at all the other laps and have recorded the
entrance speed for T3, lowest speed in T3, top speed for the downhill
leg, lowest speed in T4-T5 and the top speed for the uphill leg + the Lap time
Lap2 76 50.8 79.3 35.2 85.6 1:34.920
Lap3 75 52.6 81.4 40.8 85.1 1:33.140
Lap4 76.1 53.8 83 39.6 87.1 1:33.800
Lap5 75.2 53.6 81.5 10 85 1:33.710
Lap6 73.6 53.3 80.2 40.8 84.4 1:32.650
Lap7 73.6 52.9 80.4 41 84.8 1:32.030
Lap8 74.9 54.6 79.7 42 87 1:31.640
Lap9 75 54.3 79.3 38.9 86 1:32.370
Lap10 75.1 52.1 79.7 44.4 84.9 1:33.300
Lap11 75.3 54.8 79.4 40.1 84.2 1:33.540
Lap12 75.5 54.1 78.2 40.6 84.3 1:34.970
Lap13 75.8 49.2 80.2 43 84.6 1:32.450

Dave,
At first glance, the RPM (and speed) trace on the slower straight flattens
out after the last shift in comparison to the next (faster straight)
indicating it may not have been at full throttle.
Do you have other laps you can overlay to compare RPM and speed in that part
of the track? Are there others that have a slower lap time but are faster
through that section?
The lap with the long RPM pull into T6 was on lap 6 and the lap with
the long RPM pull into T4-T5 was on lap 8

Theoretical best lap would have been a 1:30.155 and a best rolling
lap would have been combined from lap 6 and 7 for a time of 1:31.524
