Lift much earlier? Sure. Brake much earlier? One would hope not. If the factory cars don't have the best efficiency in deceleration, they're doing something wrong.

So, best average speeds for Practice 1:
LMP1- 111.0 mph
LMP2- 99.5 mph
GTE- 95.6 mph

I saw in one of the articles on the official site that a few drivers did specifically mention difficulties with traffic crossing their minds. Even more commented on how slow and/or odd the track seemed to them. It's nice to actually see some more tentative or tepid feedback from people in the series.
