The fastest “straight” for me in my car is the run from the exit of turn 8A to the braking zone for turn 10.

BUT . . . . the best passing section on the whole track is at Turn 7. Getting a good run out of Turn 8 is nice to discuss, but if it leads to a corner where outbraking someone is a VERY low percentage move, then that is a moot point isn't it??
And I already mentioned exiting Turn 11, but, again, unless you get a good enough exit out of that corner so that your pass can be made between Turn 12 and Turn 1, outbraking someone into Turn 2 is a marginal move.
In this discussion, the "fastest straightaway" may not be the highest miles-per-hour, but the most applicable to your overtaking maneuvers.
