Yes, 888s get a little hot in short time, 5-6 laps and start sliding, but if you can get comfortable with the sliding they are actually very good. I like them because of their stiffer sidewalls than RA1s, and the wear seems alright thus far, barley noticeable. For $$$, I think they are good value, but I really want to try the Trofeos next, they did not have it for this event.
Btw, I am using same pressures front and rear, and I like the rear stability, although pushed a little too hard, the rear steps out of course as seen. But I don't have much understeer, throttle-oversteer can be improved. So, may be next time, I'll try 1 psi higher in the rears.

How much are the RA1s because the rear 315 30 18s Hoosier are already done and those puppies aren't cheap
I got a few more sets after this pic

I took the car for tech inspection today for SP this coming weekend, everything checked out well, but as expected ... THERE IS NO MORE DIFF!!! Just too funny. At least it is expected, did not take it as bad news.

Found out my diff was fried at VIR last year while at the track. Auto metrics had the car up in the air replacing my rear brake pads and they gave me the news out there. No wonder T1 and oak tree felt so slow

Unfortunately yes, I did not want to bring it up, a close friend of ours. He is alright, I am not sure the car will make it 
There were several incidents through the weekend, I am not sure of the statistics, but more than what I would say normal. May be it was the combination of the event being first one for many, combined with superb weather.
