Great in car, nice driving until the pucker on lap 6 ; )
Your car is well planted in the rear, care to share set up? I need something to tame the rear in my AP1! I suspect it is sway bars.

Balance can be fixed with alignment. Try lots of camber and toe in the rear and less camber in the front. You might not wear tires great or be super fast but you can have whatever balance you want. I was 2.5C front and 3.2C rear with 0 toe front and .3 total toe rear. The purpose of this setup was to create rear stability at a track 700 miles from home. I had to throttle lift and stab a few times in the slow corners to overcome the under steer mid corner but I was very happy with my grip level and drive-ability. The car is square now but I was staggered for so long that under steer management is normal for me. Stock sway bars because alignment and driver mod conquer all things HPDE.


I did a write up on the trip here....
