My tracking history is much more modest, amateur hobby only, but having fun nonetheless . You are right about how abrasive the track was. It must have been quite a challenge to manage tire wear in full fledge races. I remember how tough it was on tires, and we went out only for 5-6 lap stints. Looking forward to see you at Tremblant next year . Last edited by CanAutM3; 01-27-2012 at 08:22 AM.. |

In a 3 hour we would burn through the rock hard Firestones that were the spec tire.In the wet if we softened up the bars & shocks and we would chunk the left side tires during the race. Last edited by Gearhead999s; 01-27-2012 at 08:47 AM.. |

I guess it depends on how long the straight line is, my first car, 1988 ford festiva 5 spd, could hang with most cars 0-15 mph

I'm curious...why the different sidewall heights?
Also, how do the NT01s wear compared to the RS3s? I know the NT01s are R Comp, but I've read they wear like the RS3s. Are you finding that to be the case? Thanks! |

RS3s should last longer, but I'm not happy with the wear. every time when I hear street tires, I expect something like AD08 which last for very long time. |

I ran a couple of US Firehawk races in a Mustang & Camaro with the best finish of a fifth place at the Glen.I also ran the Camaro at the 24hr Mosport race where we finished 6th after 2 rear housing changes & a clutch change.The General Tire Saleen Mustang team did a 45 minute engine change at 3 in the morning.Those 24 hour races were something that I will never forget as you saw some really weird things when you are in the middle of the night on a 3 hour shift.When we ran the BMW for the 24 it was totally drama free and we won our class by over 25 laps only to get DQ'd over an engine builder oversight on hiding the porting work he did by forgetting to sandblast his handiwork. That was pretty widespread as they had to go to the ninth place car that was legal to award the winEverybody else was tossed out of the results. |
