Agreed. I posted earlier that I wasn't too impressed with the orange in pics, but this looks a lot more vibrant.

IMHO rockitman is right.

Additional downforce and wider tires will allow the RS to have higher cornering speeds. The laptime difference will be more substantial at tracks that have flowing transitions.

For example:

In Buttonwillow. From Grapevine to the Bus Stop then from the Bus stop all the way to Lost Hills, Lost Hills to the Sweper or to Star Mazda. Sweeper/Star Mazda to Sunset.

At Laguna. Top of the Corkscrew (T7) all the way down to (T10)

At Big Willow, just the extra speed that the RS will be able to carry through T9 will probably shave a couple of seconds easily since that is such a long sweeper.
