Seems like the powers not holding when you get into it on the straight... like it’s oversteering.

You’re right we were on the 7th (last) heat cycle on some used slicks.
My engineer prefers to optimize the grip for high speed corners as that helps the most with driver’s confidence.
Remember no Nannies or traction control.
Here is the other car on the 4th heat cycle.
They say with slicks after 3 laps the good is gone.
At $2500 a set of slicks I try to economize occasionally.

This is the original, heavy-duty reflective film developed for F1 and IndyCars!
Our Gold Reflective Film has excellent heat reflective characteristics, yet it is very thin and easy to install. Reflects up to 750° F radiant heat and withstands continuous operating temperature (heat soak) of 500° F. Within the normal operating range, temperatures drop by up to 70° F.
A special gold-colored metalized polyamide polymer is laminated to a thin layer of glass cloth, with a strong fire-resistant adhesive backing. This film is very lightweight at only 5 ounces per square yard, and is easy to apply (just peel and stick). The film is just 6 mils thick and requires a minimum air gap to the heat source of just 1mm, making it perfect for tight installations.
This is not the same as the common light-duty "economy" gold film. The fire-resistant adhesive used on our film passes the FAA 12-second vertical burn test. The "economy" film will not! The fire-resistant adhesive on our film is opaque white. The silver backside shows through the clear adhesive used on the "economy" film.
