1. You are braking too soon going into turn 2. Go into it deeper and stay in the middle of track until you about half way though the corner and then turn into the apex and power out. This is a good corner to do some trail braking.
2. Same thing Dan said about turn 3, stay more to the center. Late apex that corner so you aren't fighting the wheel and hug the burm a little bit longer before you make the left at turn 4.
3. Stay all the way to the left as you approach turn 5, then start going to the right so that you are in the middle of the track as you crest the hill and pointing at the apex as you come over the crest. This way your wheels are straight as you crest the hill and you don't have to make any steering inputs as the front unweights itself.
4. Turns 6-8 look okay. Maybe try to carry a little more speed at 8.
5. Turn 9. As soon as you turn, get on the gas right away.
6. Turn later for 14. You want to late apex this corner as much as possible. You should be on the gas the whole way until you get to turn 1.

Nice video, I never drove a car in thunderhill. Maybe one day I will do it. My best time on a motorcycle is 2:10:12 but the lay out is a bit different I could shave off 4 seconds with this lay out 
Nice video by the way.
Nice video by the way.
