Thanks for your contributions, everybody.
There's no safe way to track any car without any risk.

The question here is, what risk is acceptable to you?

Track driving will heat soak your intercooler far more than street driving, which means higher intake temps, which means higher risk of knock/predet. Higher octane fuel means higher knock resistance.

It has nothing to do with the tune, and everything to do with the driving conditions.
