To turn in that late will tighten the initial part of the corner. So the question is will your car recover enough speed by opening up the exit to counteract the lower entry speed.
As you seem to have data (overlay), the best thing to do would be to try it, perhaps at a range of corners. Try your late entry line, and try a more conventional line, and see which is quicker. You might need to practice the conventional line because it will be counter to your normal style.
If it was a race, then you'd leave the door open for overtaking (although I do enjoy overtaking around the outside of Stowe, which is possible if you don't turn in on the other person), but for a track day it's what feels good and (if you're sneakily timing) which is quicker.
I would guess that your car ISN'T quick enough to recover the entry losses through Vale, and that you'd be better off moving towards a more 'normal' line.
