Looking forward to attack CCW this week-end. I haven't run that configuration in a long time...
I wasn't gonna point it out, but thank you for doing it.

To go around corners pretty much off the throttle and then gas it hard soon as the track straightens out... I'm sorry but, fundamentally speaking, we're not involved in the same hobby.

Are you using the soft or hard compound TD's?

And, how do they last compared to the NT01's??

Soft (C70).

On the 2 sets of NT01's I've run, I've gotten 4 1/2 ~ 5 days.
On the 3 sets TD, I've gotten 3 1/2 ~ 4 days.

And, the TD's are slightly faster? I might try the hard compound especially during the summer time.

Are you going to BRP this weekend with Speed District?

Yea faster, by about a second.

This weekend, I'm BRP'd out (4 out of my last 5 track days were at BRP). Might run Big Willow (haven't been there in 13 months, plus have about a dozen Extreme Speed coupon pack still left, lulz), or just chill.

Yep, will do.


Oh, re: NT01 vs TD, at BRP's Riverside, I've had a few moments where the backend of the car started to come out with R-S3 and NT01, but never so far with TD (even thought I ran as much as 2 seconds faster with TD compared to NT01).
