Although a friend mentioned to me he had better braking with rs3 and I don't know if it's a mind fuck but I think I agree. Think maybe the softer rs3 gives more contact patch under braking, possibly from softer sidewall if that makes sense.
I feel like my line wasn't as good as others on that lap but couldn't beat my times the rest of the day. This is only my 2nd day with aero so I'm learning how to drive the car with it. Went from 1:59:2 (Rs3) WITHOUT aero to 1:57:7 (ad08r) WITH aero at button. At WSIR 1:32:8 to 1:30:9 but didn't have the splitter then and was getting a lot of understeer. Excited to try the AD08R with the splitter at big willow in a few weeks.

Great lap and love the sound of AD08R's getting worked
Glad you liked them and can't wait to get a full season on the AD08R's. Really think they are a fantastic tire and yes, I shoot for 40 hot, which usually has me starting around 30-32 cold, depending on the track. Looking forward to more times and vids...
