I was struggling for grip too! And when I look at my video it's hard to tell. I also had NT01's but they had 25+ cycles and were a handful. With temps above 90 degrees it seemed like everyone was complaining about grip.

After watching both videos this is a true statement. He is faster at turn in and apex in the first half of the track, which is the segment I was mostly watching and paying attention to.

Generally I find that both cars like a stiff front bar and a soft to medium soft rear bar. All of this depends on springs, shocks, and weight of the car though.

Ha; I should have said that I am slow through there; I don't typically carry a lot of speed into 5, then just ride 3rd all the way out of snake and grab 4th at the bridge.

I will bring spares next time; my trailer rack can accommodate.


Thanks again to everyone for the helpful feedback.
