Guess my top speed and win a prize!

Seems like you did almost a full 360 to the right just before that fuel starve? I can't make sense of the layout from the video anyways, but long hard right-handers at a full G or more will starve this car by 3/4 tank for sure.

Also, while I don't really do autocross, my first thought on improving your times from seeing the video was to do everything earlier. In some critical corners you end up not really getting on the throttle until you're way past the apex and you've just about completely straightened out before you give it any real gas, which isn't ideal. Brake earlier and get on maintenance-level throttle through the apex to pin the rear down for more traction, and you should be able to hold more mid-corner speed and then put the power down faster as you track out.

Nice driving!
