The car is fast out of the box. Period. The A-48s are not the uber-tire that a Hoosier or Kumho is, but it is still fast and can be within a second of the DOT Rs. Check your alignment.

Track is not that different, car control is car control. A slight nudge towards less understeer and more oversteer is the main difference for me. But I never bother to change the car for track vs autocross.

Alignment, Tire pressures, shock settings. The car is sensitive to small changes. Taking front shims out is good. Most important is driver and learning how to drive the Lotus.
