I wasn't letting it drift too much, and I could tell the instructors wouldn't be comfortable with someone so green pushing a car like that at those speeds in a corner. Like I said, I was also running it just in VSC Sport Mode. So I wonder if the aids stepping in had an affect on how the car felt too.
I plan to get a fresh set of tires on it for next year. I'll probably do my first track day next season and see how it feels with different tires. From there assess what to do next. I'm sure the majority of my problems are driver input. lol

Being used tires, how healthy were they? I was almost sold a set that was 'hard'. One of the things I've been doing is touching people's tires when they let me (at track and autocross). Maybe they just weren't a healthy set?
RA is hard; I was good in the kink but thrashed the car in Turn 5, all day. (nose diving).
