In the meantime they have already canceled those "speed limited" sections. So there are no longer any speed limits.
There were speed limits, but I'm talking about the actual, physical change they've make to the course to "flatten" it over this section to prevent more accidents happening from cars getting light (and possibly lift) over the hump where the GTR had the fatal crash.

Seems like the change must be worth a little time as cars can now stay on power for longer over this stretch.

Maybe it's negligible, but when we're comparing so many cars from so many generations, any variation to the course like this is worth mentioning.
