Whilst I know these cars are known for understeer and snap oversteer, I can't help but think it's not performing as it should.
you bought one last year right, where did you source it from btw...... you know there was an orange uk car that had had major accident repair. hope this is not your car.... if not, weren't you also looking at indie servicing for it.... maybe it needs a geo setup

Got privately from Monaco. Craig at Pangbourne sorted the servicing.

Yeah might get it to centre of gravity for geo.

If it's a 670-4 SV (not clear from post) - you should get the thrust and camber checked (laser check if possible) - very sensitive to any pot holes/significant impacts that the wheels/tyres have - and also is you intend to track it.

HR Owen did a sterling job to mine - managed a 2:42 lap around Spa - sub - 3 minutes is quick for a road car - and I'm not even good! Just make sure you've got an adaptor for the wheels - it's a pain if you turn up at a track and don't - they never supplied the 670-4 SV's with the adaptor.....

I think you are doing yourself a disservice there, that's very quick.

Sorry can't help with pressures as I've never experimented or taken it on a track but whilst mine was in at Pangbourne Craig told me yours was coming in so he had two there at once! And there aren't many over here. Congrats enjoy the car I absolutely love mine it's exceeded my expectations by far.

Hope you are enjoying the car, the tyre pressures should be set to 2.4bar all round. The car will understeer, but they are very sensitive to the correct alignment set up. It may be an idea to get it checked out, pot holes are a nightmare for kicking it out if spec!
