I'm pretty certain this is going to be my race this week: proper fast car at an awesome track... but it sure is a handful!
I can't bring myself to add any TCS, that's just not in the spirit, so it's going to be a great exercise in squeezing the throttle.
I'm toying with taking a smooth approach, as though you're driving on worn tires the whole time, even sticking it one gear higher for certain corners, like doing the hairpin in 2nd and the next left hander in 3rd, ignoring the computer recommendations. I do find 2nd gear very short, so easy to spin out.
The handling is funny on this car. Sometimes it seems like I'm late on all apexes, other times at slow speeds it seems to turn in very sharp.
Whatever happens, it's going to be a fun week taming this beast.
