Cup 2's, and never again. I really don't like them at all. I put them on for Daytona as my Re71r's do not have a high enough speed rating (149mph) Maybe its just me, but the car moves around way more on braking and never really provides the confidence the RE71's do. I'm going to try something else next, maybe Nankang AR-1's if I can make them fit.

I find cup 2s pretty good but I liked the Goodyear f1 supercar better. Haven’t tried any others with the 20s since I can’t do 19s with the pccb caliper size. (Didn’t want to pay for forgelines). But re71 are also scarce now having been discontinued.

Sorry I missed you. ​Was out there today and never really got a clean lap. ​Set a new PB and can confirm the Falkens are pretty good. ​Got a 2:21.38, but was really held up through 10-11. ​Definitely could have gotteh into the 2:20s ,possibly 2:19. ​I'll post video tomorrow night. ​​pretty happy though, only my second time at Sebring.

wow, fantastic time, even more impressive that it’s only your second outing!! You’ve got some serious talent.

yeah, it might just be me or my setup, I just don’t jive with them. Thank you for reminding me about the Goodyear, I’m going to look into them.

Well I've tried several times and I can't get my Garmin to save my fastest lap from yesterday, but it did save the entire session, so sorry about that. Had a good lap going on lap 11 and then lost fuel flow. Had to come in and get gas and went back out. All caught on video LOL. Lap 15 is my fastest and starts a little after 42:00 and Lap 14 is pretty good and starts at 40:00. Was chasing a Clubsport. He slowed up at turn 10 and cost me about 0.5 seconds, so had a good shot at a 2:20, but pretty happy with a 2:21. Edit: was able to edit it down to the last two laps

MasterApex, I don't think I've seen that data layout in a video before. Is that a VBOX HD2 scene? If so, wanna share....? ;-)

It is built-in Porsche Track Precision App running on my iPhone 12.

Lightbulb COTA 1st timer: 2:34.9

Very impressive line! I was out for the first time ever at COTA (home track is MSR Houston) this weekend in my stock 981 GT4 on PS4S. After orientation Saturday morning, was able to get multiple laps in the 2:34.9 range Saturday PM and early Sunday. Conditions were absolutely ideal. Looking forward to finding another 7+ seconds in future visits.

I wasn't aware the Porsche Track Precision App was so good. I was using my Aim SOLO2, but will be using this moving forward.

We did COTA last June, but Barber is our home track. Let me know when you are coming to Barber; I believe there will several of your TX crew that are planning to join us at our early October DE.
COTA rewards high horsepower and yet you accomplished a time that cars with 100+ more horsepower would be proud of.
Well done, sir.

Was pretty happy with these laps at Barber at the last Rezoom event in November. A 1:33.21 felt quick, although I threw away a 1:32.XX on the second last corner, on my last lap.
Tires were a bit hot by lap 15, and I overcooked it, well ****. That said, Goodyear 3R tires are amazing for a street-able tire, they feel like hoosiers.
