Davison seems to get faster every time he goes out. Had a good (losing) battle with him at Barber.

All of those guys were fast! One of the white ones was a little over a second off the pros (Keen, Bleekemolen, Lally, Pumpelly) and the other not too far behind. That's if they are stock like the GTC cars.

Davison was actually on pole for sprint #1, but the Canadian pro in one of the white .2 Cups had a fantastic start, and he and the other .2 Canadian Cup never looked back.

No idea why so many people call Hoosiers cheater tires. At Sebring, R6 are only 1 sec faster than shaved RA1. 1 second is far from being a substantial difference, even in Formula 1 qualifying, 1 second can group a few drivers.
Cheater tires: Michelin N1 Spec GT3 Cup 25F/30R sprint slicks. 3 secs faster than shaved RA1. Fast enough to get a 2009 Cayman S to chase 997.1 GT3 on MPSC, fast enough to get an old 2007 GT3 to chase 3.8RS on RA1, fast enough to get a Fiat 430 Scuderia to chase a slightly modified (read Izzone/Trakcar/Eddie kind of cheating) 3.8 RS on RA1.

point 2: nope, see point 1, gap should be more like 4-5 seconds, again assuming proper set up and driving talent

point 1: nope, fresh R6's will be more like 2 seconds faster, presuming the car is set up for them & the driver is talented & knowledgeable enough to know how to drive them
point 2: nope, see point 1, gap should be more like 4-5 seconds, again assuming proper set up and driving talent

No, you want to agree.
Here is my bet. Put slicks on your car, and try to run a 2:13, if you can't you pay for drinks, food, and get to enjoy my Fiat avatar for 90 days. If not, I'll cover drinks, food and put a VW Avatar for 90 days.
Talking about bets, JP175 should be wearing my Fiat Avatar after Winterfest, because he got creamed by the Fiat on the contest. I'm ok if he won't honor the bet, friends first.
Just a tip: comparing tires means running same size tires. You, Aero Beetle boys are still running 245 RA1 when you should be running 275, and you run 305 RA1 when you should be running 335. On R6, the 255/335 combo works well, just with a clarification that a 255/35R18 labelled by Hoosier really is a 275/30R18. I have purchased most of the 18" A6/R6 sizes, and all of the 19" sizes, measured and weighed them, keep the data and play with it.

The PCO one is Etienne Borgeat, the Touring Car champ from last year. Racing in the GT3 Challenge this year. Fast driver.
The other car is his friend, Anthony Mantella. New to pcars but has a decent racing history. Also racing in the GT3 Challenge. Both in the Platinum class.
