Finishing up two days at NYST
Dry and perfect.
Tires I am using:
Front:
FFI500 275/30/19 2015
FFI500 275/30/19 2018
Rear:
MPSS 275/35/19 2018
MPSS 275/35/19 2017
This is the first time I am trying a "square" 275 setup. Not bad.
The issue is still front grip. The FFI500 must be a hard compound. It is 340 tread tire. It is very loud going thru the turns. Wear is excellent and even.
The passenger front takes the brunt of the load and I got it to 192 f degrees outside and 188 inside. This is very good and indicate the -3.5 camber is indeed helpful.
I turned the DSC off and enjoyed pushing the car to dance a bit. I am doing many 1:41 laps and few 1:40 with best 1:40.3
This is not bad for the level of wear. For example MPS4 yield 1:38, but at the same time I shred it into pieces.
I will have a video of one or two laps shortly. What you may see in the video is that I am working the throttle and the steering wheel. While it does not "look" good it was faster. So smooth looking good was 1:41.x but choppy and steering with the gas was 1:40.x.
This perhaps only work on a tight track vs a high speed one.
