Seeing at that Lotus weighs about 12 pounds, let's call that a massive win!

Yeah, a very technical track from what I can see. Lots of chained esses together combined with camber changes. You simply cannot get on the power early and power through the turns. You have to be patient and very careful with the racing line as you mess up the line once, you cannot fix it due to the chained natures of the esses etc. it will have a snowball effect through the rest.

That hill before the esses is VERY complex. Crest the hill then an off camber turn, then compression at the bottom. THEN you have the essess before the last 90 degree turn.
