Perhaps the lack of rear grip was caused by having no rear downforce on the car.

A rear wing would have helped, but it was mostly due to my corner entry speed and already being at the limit of tire adhesion when I applied the throttle. That and my line was slightly off, apexed to early. Most of the corners at PIR are late apex corners.

Thanks for the compliments, the car sounds awesome in person.
