Also, I suggest you try 1.8 to 2.0 degree rear camber, irrespective of what your pyrometer is telling you. That’s where most F8x guys end up after some experimentation.

I think we are maybe onto something.
Ever since Wednesday, the day I had it on track, I've actually shortened the shock length by two turns and after reading what you just wrote I went out to check the amount of rod the shock has before the bump stops. Obviously Ohlins USA is closed now to see if under 2 inch of shock travel is sufficient, but this could have been definitely the cause of the erratic behavior of the car.
Just check out the video of the lap and a bit which I posted on Youtube, you'll see how wild the car was.
