I feel like my body kinda gets what the car is doing now (slowly and still trying to get a sense of it) and I am learning how to react to them. Before, my SC light would go off and would save my ass =) But it is SO MUCH more rewarding when driven smooth and settling the car VS nannies on and throwing the damn car in anger-throttling and blaming your tires/tire pressure/ uhhh brake pads/ . |

Although it was with Porsche vehicles, each time I turned it off I was several secs faster, with GT3 that difference was over 4 secs at VIR.

Tires (Size & Model): 265/18/35 Hankook RS3 on Apex ARC-8 18x10" Suspension: Stock (no-edc, no-zcp pack). Traction Control: off Other Mods: None Track/Course: Buttonwillow 13CW Best Lap Time: 2:02.35 Brake: Stoptech ST BBK (60F/40R) with Stoptech Street Pads Tires (Size & Model): 275/18/35 Hankook RS3 on Apex ARC-8 18x10" Suspension: KW Clubsport (2-way) Traction Control: off Other Mods: Dinan rear exhaust / TP / ECU Tune Somehow my laptime gets 1-2 seconds quicker when i'm running the last day on RS3 (6-7th track days on tire). I know it sounds odd, but it happened almost every time when i am about to change tires (I've had three sets of RS3 so far). Anyone else having this weird situation?

Just did a track weekend at Road America. Below is a video of my best session, second lap is the faster one. I had a few laps in other sessions that should have been better but blocked by traffic. Overall i'm pretty happy since its my second track day in two years. With a little more confidence with my brakes (cracked the rotors second session of the morning but still tracked, I think i'm capable of 2:34's.

Went to SpeedVentures on Sunday. Nice day, although it got fairly warm in the afternoon. The new pavement really seems to be curing and getting grippier because I keep getting faster. I also think the "lower" berms also makes things faster. Anyway, I set new personal bests with Euro-MDM on and DSC-off. I think it will possible to get to 1:54 by cleaning things up a bit.

Nice runs dogbone, I'm anxious to get out to BW as I haven't been there since May. The surface looks like it's cured nicely and some good rubber has been laid down. I also like how they have flatten a lot of the berms so you can actually ride on them (including going into the front straight). Have you found yourself riding the berms more and before? My personal best was 1:57.7 CW13 back in early Feb with NT01/RA1s so I'm curious what times I'll run in mid-Nov when I head back with PCA SD.

Your car is a monster. That thing can surely fly around that track. If you didn't get into the low 50's, I would find that surprising. Are you running a grippier tire setup now? |

I'm gonna run my street tires (RE-11s), NT01s/RA1s, and new R6s at Chuckwalla this weekend to get an idea of what the delta is between each of them is and might do the same at Buttonwillow in mid-Nov with PCA SD. I think with someone like Billy going 10/10th on R6s or slicks in cool weather the car might do a 1:50 or so. To get into the high 40s the car would have to go on a diet. |

Not knowing your car can't say for sure but comparing nt01s with fresh set of r6 should be an easy 2-3 seconds and adding in new surface another 1-2, Without doing anything different. Then another 1-2 on driver mod. There is always time to be had.

Yeah, USCTrojanMan29 is in a saaawwweeeeet GT3RS with quite a few nice mods. The car is very very capable. I agree----fresh quality tires like R6 and new pavement should be worth 5 seconds alone. Plus, he has another half year of track driving experience. That should equal low 50's in my estimation. Now if he still shows up with lower grip tires, then perhaps the difference won't be as dramatic.
