I run my R6 all the way past 30 heat cycle and they are fine. Lower pressure to 28 PSI hot and it will still grip well. I also rotate my tires inside out every 10-12 HC to even out the wear. rear heavy GT3 is harder on R6 than my Z06 but lower PSI and rotate tires should help

Have a new set of kuhmos on mine. Hopefully Mooty won't be sessioning it all too much on fri(my tow/trailer guy- highly recommended) since he doing pdc as well. Told Mooty explicitly just one session to cure the kuhmos. Mike

She did ask if she gets scared, if she can get out of the car ?

me: Yeah of course you can. I have to bring you back into the pits
her: so i cant just get out when i want to ?
me: only in the pits
her: what if i can't take one whole lap, i want to get out asap.
me: you have to wait until we get back into the pits..
her: why not on the track ?

..................
How about divebombing? If Mooty and I are neck to neck we usually do : ). Mike

already made a mistake. you didnt specify what one session is to mooty....one session to me can be 1 year of track days worth... interpretation!

lol. i'm sure it's more to do with my driving style. but i have to admit i have more fun making steering/trottle corrections than making better lap times. that is, when no one is around me.
