I wasn't running any significant camber adjustment. That would help the turn in, which wasn't the biggest problem. It's arguable that the increased turn in performance would have increased the oversteer reaction. As it was the drift was progressive, mostly controllable, but meant backing off and gently squeezing on the power out of the corners, which felt slow. In the two days of track time I only looped once from oversteer.

These are all 'on track' experiences, where the surface is smooth and quite grippy, and tyres are up to temp. I wouldn't like to test the limits on a road that sees dirt, oil and other potential 'slip' hazards. The progressive drift on the track might well convert to a snap reaction on a standard road surface.
