With a few events under your belt, you should have at least some sense of what's going on by now. Can you feel the rear start to break away before it goes or does it just snap? Are you comfortable feeling, and dealing with, oversteer and understeer?
A Boxster is indeed a fairly easy car, but it's not a fwd car where you just manage the front tires to minimize understeer. You need to manage all four tires, and constantly adjust the balance of the car. An MR car does have a low polar moment of inertia, so things tend to happen a little quicker than in an FR car.
Another note is that the RE71R is pretty unforgiving. Production stopped in 2019, so any left out there are now getting even more cantankerous. They'll grip, but when you go over the limit they just totally turn off. A more modern tire / one with more progressive breakaway will give you more confidence to probe the limits and even go over a bit, without that "on eggshells" feeling.
