The i8 was never designed for track use...using full power for long periods straight will mean there's little energy left to keep the batteries charged up, and performance will decrease since you'd be limited to the ICE only motivation. Same idea with the i3 REx...if you insist on trying to eke out every last mile on the thing while blasting down the road at high speeds, it will eventually disappoint you since the REx can't keep up with the load, and the battery will continue to draw down verses being maintained.
But, for more typical driving, either car works quite well for its intended purpose. I have to say, at my age and physical condition, getting out of the i8 takes some practice, and getting in is more like falling into a big hole than gracefully entering a car.
