I made the mistake of doing the Engine upgrade to 5 first. It made it worse, not better. Once I added Tires and Wheels to 4, the car was able to handle the Esses faster and the final two turns. Engine 3 was more than enough.

The key was getting the most out of the Esses to start sector 3, going deep into the second to last turn (almost but not quite flat out) then not skidding on the final turn. Wheels gave you the extra grip needed and a slight boost to acceleration as well.
