I haven't driven the track, but I was more concerned about a speed-limited corner at the bottom of a grade. With grades as steep as your map shows, it would be easy to be coasting and still exceed 45mph. I'd rather just drive through the corner vs. scrub off speed with my brakes.
Thanks for the grade info though... 11% is pretty steep. That would likely require a downshift unless I could cut out a whole bunch of weight from the car.
