I kept running laps that session since I wasn't sure what the hell was up and eventually it had to limp the car back onto the paddock as it would just sputter as if it was in some sort of limp mode.

My solution was simple. Never start a session with less than 1/2 a tank of E85 and replenish after every session. Haven't had an issue since.
I could get my car to fuel starve when starting with a full tank on lefts, rights, and even long straights in only 3-4 laps. 365whp and 265 non-DOT slicks do not agree with the OEM fuel system at all. I have it sorted now but it has been a massive process.
