Well, I have a Pirelli press release announcing a new PZero Corsa *system* comprising of a Direzionale for the front and an Asimmetrico for the rear. This system was developped and tested on Porsche cars before it was installed on this car.

Good reference article Bob -- Thanks. Interesting side bar about the Stradale.

I guess it must be the "compromise" Corsa system as you said Viken -- definitely not the regular Corsa R-compound track/street tire.

Do you think this is the tire that might come on the GT3 in addition to the PS2's???

Given the delays in the installation of the Pirelli tires on the GT3, that sure sounds like a possibility. However, the Porsche TSB clearly stated the Pirelli P-ZERO ROSSO Asimmetrico N4 as the approved tire alongside the PS2.
