NSX LoveFab at Haute Saintonge in France

I took the NSX to a small track close to my home here in France.
The track is about 2.1 km long with some tricky turns that tought me a few things about my driving and about the NSX setup...
In the attached video, one can see a BMW M3 equipped with a 420 hp V8 that chases me and then passes me.
This made me realize that I wasn't fully exploiting the car's potential in the medium fast downhill off camber RH turn following the starting line.
In the beginning I tended to stay close to the apex but later on I discovered that many drivers broke the turn into two parts.
I definitely was not at ease doing this as I felt the car would escape me.
I suppose my next upgrade would be to go to fully non-compliant in the rear?
BTW the BMW that passed me was on Pirelli P Zero Corsa Trofeo's including a serious lightening program.
Last but not least the ambient temperature was 35°C that forced me stop before the end of the sessions..
Here it is:

Oh man, that looks So fun. it looks like a mix of Road Atlanta and VIR.

Yes it is, but not ideal for the NSX in my view.
With the European spec gear ratio, I only engage fourth gear for a few seconds while the twisty part is in second and the rest is in third.
I also very much doubt I'm getting the 400 rwhp from my LoveFab turbo kit...
