Yep, keep at it. :)
You'll note that in newer releases there aren't any periods of racing or aero-racing any longer than 60 seconds. I'll have to defer to Dan on this one but I speculate that this is because any longer and people tend to turn down too far and bounce/spin free.
My personal advice - keep the load on(ish) during those periods, put on as much speed as you can but don't necessarily go for the beat straight up - sneak up on it and you'll feel better when you reach it!
