You almost lost it on the big sweeper from 238 to 880? What did you get? 80% acceleration?

BTW: I still need to learn how to flip pads, bleed brakes and change my oil. *cough-cough*

I'd only get 2 days at most out of a set of tires if I was getting 7 sessions a day. How in the world do you get that much track time? Do you run more than one group?

Are the MPSCs you guys referring to the "real" MPSCs or the compromised ones that came on 7GT3?

yes, with PCA GGR, they are plenty of very fast drivers and very fast cars. so i can run in instructor group as well as one group down. and there are also two other groups that i know well and are decently fast i would pay for two groups and not run into too much traffic. finally a very cool group of racers does a DE without run groups (30 cars total or so), with them i did 320+ miles in one day.

and like you most of my tires last about two days, EVEN THE TOYO's now.

under acc is fine.
but throttle steer is much faster than usual. that caught me by surprise. and it's bumping at the turn, so i may have to chk bump steer.

Yes - the tires in between the original MPSCs and PS2s. N-spec created for 7GT3

as long as it's a turn, you can throttle steer even at 10 mph.

Trust me i've learned. Totaling an A4 and more citations than i'd care to remember burns a not so nice memory but a memory nonetheless. Although i've never had an officer pull me over and know me by name. LOL

Once i get more acquainted with my 3 you'll have to show me how to do this. The only way i know of is putting the car into a slide (power over, clutch kick, faint, etc...)

go 10mph straight, turn 90 deg and take your right foot off the gas, the car will steer
