I think RS29 is the yellow. If so here is my 2 cents. I am running an 11 gt3RS. and had new yellow's at road america. Took forever to bed in, then got bad fade, lost pedal a couple of times.

Same track tried 08's and wow what a difference. Rock hard pedal, little to no bedding.

For my driving style, I like the PFC 08.

There are others that like Pagid, I liked my ceramics first, then the 08 PFC, then the pagid. Great dealers on reenlist for both brands.

Good luck.

I like Homestead MUCH better then PBIR, but once or twice a year is enough.

Like Sujelly said; Big difference. Throw out your Pagids if you have more then 2 days on them. Probably should throw them out anyway.

I plan on de throning Trakcar from Feb since he has a cars and cafe meet that weekend
Quick Tips..

- Over 1 Second to be made in Turn 1. Brake Harder and later initially. get the car turned in and get back on the gas once the car is pointed at the track out start trail-braking. Use the entire track.
- Turn 2 Get on Gas earlier Feather gas use entire track
- Turn 3 Swing car out to right then get the car pointed back to the left and get on gas hard.
- Minor changes in the middle.. Good lines overall My guess is you can carry more speed into the turns? Again, Minor.
- From turn 6 to turn 1 you should be on the gas. Especially w/ the amount of Aero you have. Keep a constant/linear acceleration from 6 through 7. The car will feel much more stable.
I'll email you the 2 tricks to turn 1, 6, & 7 I want you to get the crown! (Sorry Peter you can't win them all)

Below is a short video from RRR earlier this month. I was making to complain about some of the ppl in qualifying (trying to race, it should be treated similar to a DE to allow for best lap times..) Either way listen to the constant acceleration from 6. I short shift (even w/ 240 hp) to keep torque down and keep the car balanced (Loaded up). The lifting you may hear was intentional because my tires were **** and I couldn't get the front to turn in. In my IP car I was turning High 17's & 18's on cooked tires. The first lap viewed was my 2nd or 3rd lap of Qualifying and really the only clean lap that allowed me to hit the proper marks.. Not my fastest as my tires had a hard time getting to temp (And never Did)

If you have Nittos or similar on your RS you should be in the 15-16's - 13-14's on Ho-Ho's I haven't driven RRR w/ my 3 so I'm guesstimating..

I wish I could do the Feb event but I'm Racing @ Road ATL that weekend.. RRR is a good time, Laid Back!

I can see 17's maybe 16's with a better driver, but I doubt 15's..

I need a fast drover to lead the way. Maybe I'll just shadow Randy all weekend and drink his beer.

How is PBOC with Super Solo? Is that the desirable run group, being the highest obviously?

I like the no point by open passing.

I signed up for SuperSolo 100 and they had me fill out my DE resume. I am approved pending a verbal "flag test" and then a check ride at the track.

Is SS100 a good group to run with? Or should I just go with with 200?

Are any of you guys in SS100?

GT3DE, I'm in SS100 as well as Izzone, Trackcar, NJ-GT, M3EvoBR and Erik and probably a few others on these forums.....this is a great group of guys...seriously really great...top notch excellent drivers. The cool thing about Super Solo is you are out on the track with drivers that are totally aware of what's around them...total situational awarness.

Even though SS is open passing with no point by...they do not tolerate dive bombing passing and if you choose to pass in a corner you share the whole corner...50/50....no apexing for the car ont eh outside and no tracking out for the car on the inside. It's the slower way around the corner but....we all have a blast in this group.

this is very important. most probably the most important thing when out on the track. total confidence and trust in your group. this ideal is hard to come by as there is always 1 d/head.

our groups are less policed, it seems, than you guys over there, so some 'aspiring elitists' always get through the net.
