Looks like you have the line mostly down. I felt like the camera was going to exit the vehicle at one point. One thing I do differently then a lot of people in higher hp cars is a low line into T1. I spun once to the inside of the corner going over the transition that you feel when you take the high line braking approach. My spin was my error and could have been prevented. I don't feel like that line gains anything over the possibility of upsetting the car at such high speed through the transition especially when in a DE environment. I have a couple of videos on youtube in what looks like a similarly prepped C5 if you want to take a look, including that spin video. 
Oh, and my last time out on TWS I got a check ride to move up to Yellow but got a little embarrassed at the end of the check when my torque tube blew up coming out of T7.
