Put on some wider tires for track day use, or even everyday use if fuel consumption does not concern you, and lap times would improve significantly. Maybe not 7 secs on this specific track, but still... Play around a bit with the front tire sizes as well and I would think one could sort out most of the understeer too.
That's a good point, has anyone tested wider tyres on the i8 yet?
