RING = 2.2 / 2.4
Track = 2.0 / 2.2
Going under 2.0 is a real danger in Michelin and Trofeo as they cut / explode like Kobalt did.

new Corsas are not faster IMO as a Cup2 N2 .?

Hard to say tbh, CJ did say in the Mclaren thread he thought the new 720 corsa was very similar to the 675's trofeo. The SportAuto braking numbers also seem to suggest a lot of grip in the new tyre. It's not as obvious as previously that a Cup2 was miles faster than a corsa anyway.

Yup, there is no doubt in my mind that the Mclaren 720S is an over-performer. This test also highlights the limitation that the currently 911 has without any form of active aero. Hopefully this gets addressed with the 992 platform. Looking forward to see what Mclaren has in store for the LT version of the 720S.

Seb, If you get the chance to see the calipers when they are off the car: In wonder if there is any spacer between the caliper and the upright. Or if the caliper is bolted directly to the upright.

Let's not forget the 720 did the Ring in 7:14 two seconds slower than the .2GT3 and about 28 sec. slower than the GT2.

But the Sport Series 600LT will be introduced at Pebble this year as a 2019, Spyder version of that is 2020.

the 720 was 7:14 at the 'ring with one of the german mags (AZ or something). The same driver for the same magazine was 7:24 for the gt3 for a more reasonable comparison.
Anyone who actually thinks the 720 is slower than the .2 gt3 on any track I'm sorry is pretty clueless.

Is it that much of a surprise that a lighter more powerful car albeit giving up some tyre/aero grip but with some trick systems, plus what looks like a pretty similar tyre will be close in performance to the 2rs on track?
