That the track I hit the most has some ripply/bumpy/not-ideal pavement in some hard braking zones is probably a huge factor. Being a little light in the rear on weight distribution doesn't help either (and/or having a very stiff rear sway). Lack of cooling to the fronts and/or under-specced front pads relative to rear would contribute as well. Then of course I'm sure personal habits on how you use the pedal and how you set up the car's ... what's the right term? dynamic weight distribution? ... during certain braking sections will affect it as well.
Sounds like Turn 1 @ TWS... lol my inner monologue was regularly "**** **** **** **** **** **** shiiiiiit! Wheew okay turn in..." So bumpy it's hard to slow down sometimes, even without brake fade or ice mode.
