I went the traditional route of picking a top gear speed that matches the top speed I'm actually seeing on track, which IIRC is the 260kph setting (two clicks left of default).

The problem is that T2 is now two downshifts instead of 1 which makes the corner a little harder (plus the higher entry speed up the hill moves the braking point earlier so you have to trail brake in). Also the esses require a shift to 6th inbetween the 2nd left and 2nd right. But the carousel is now in a better rev range in 4th than it was previously, and the two hairpins are now 3rd gear turns instead of 2nd. So overall I think the gearing is better a little shorter.
