Thanks for clarifying.


I think the R7 is the smarter choice for HPDE, as it's not like shaving a few tenths off a lap time is going to make the difference between winning the trophy and taking second place.
The Hoosier 265/35/19 works.
Just came back from a test drive
Hooray!

Now we need to see if the inner fenders will survive a track day.
