Turns out the tyres were way over pressure (45psi hot) and reducing it 10psi made the car planted and overall WAAAY better to drive. Over 4 sessions I managed to reduce my PB from 1.17 to 1.12 (which is still slow AF) but I was feeling a lot more confident in the end. My attempt to record the sessions resulted in this:



..so no footage unfortunately.
Anyway I had a blast and I'm very happy with the setup, although I did hit limp mode:


Will fit an oil cooler to sort this out hopefully.

Hoping to get another track day in before Christmas.
You should probably read the code because neither your coolant or your oil was high enough to cause any kind of limp mode. I see 219f coolant and 262f oil... The car runs at those temps on the street in economy mode.
