I read that you will always have the full power in an everyday driving profile, even after a trip on the Autobahn for example. But pushing the car on a racetrack is another story, since there is too much power demand and too little battery regeneration to retain the battery charge permanently.

Thanks, this is what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Makes sense. This isn't meant to be a track car, but a real world car.
That being said, one can bring a generator to charge the battery in between sessions on the track, problem solved.
If you can afford an i8 as your track toy, surely you can afford a generator.
