I had a ph1 many , many years ago, and it was better than the ph2 cup I had later.
      Regardless the ability of the EV is bloody impressive, like nuts impressive for a roadcar.

      Do you really believe that would have been the same story if:

      b/ He was on fresher tires

    You mentioned on both laps how regen was still active to some degree, I wonder if that helped prevent brake fade over the lap. I get why purely mechanical braking is better from a drivability perspective but having some regen to take the load off the mechanical brakes must have a not-insignificant effect.

    regen brakes charges the battery. Electricity creates heat. Less heat generated per second via the powertrain, the better, in the case of a track day. The extra heat the system can tolerate can now be used for power delivery instead
