We can setup a fund called The Duncan GT3!

I say if we each fork out $10K, we will be there in no time, assuming we can get 20 donors

I'll bet the rear tires had twice the wear of the fronts.
What is so unusual about the rear tire wear?That is how my tires wear on track on my M

What amazes me is I still see people recommending R888's for track use for the M3. Does not appear to be a good tire choice for our cars.

That is why Toyo has reintroduced the RA1 because of the issues that the racers has with the 888's.They only work in a very small setup & performance envelope that our street cars do not have.I am looking forward to having new RA1's this year instead of the takeoffs that I ran for the last 2 events last year.
