that wheel/tire combo

Personally the DBA rotors, and AP Racing calipers do more for me than the wheel/tire combo.

Those would be APs own j-hook rotors sir!

Did the rear end step out? Funny seeing a fwd with opposite lock through a corner

Good point, maybe the driver did a liftoff. Most likely the car has a much stronger engine than stock and he intentionally does that to place balance and grip on the front. I was tempted to try that myself on the road see if the Si is strong enough to actually feel it but it is a bit too much for public roads.

Those curbs can be pretty disruptive, too, and I guess if you hit it hard enough with a stiff suspension, the rear will step out

I bet they changed or removed sway bars as well to make it more prone to oversteer.

Don't quote me, but I believe the BTCC is using 2.4 liter turbocharged engines. The BTCC (much like F1) pretty much launches over the apex of every "curb"

Did you see Matt Neal on two wheels through the knickerbrook chicane?

Ok I had the 2.4 wrong (that might have been last year's spec), but I did get the turbo right according to the Yuasa link.
