Up here at WGI this week - hands down, it's the nicest track I've driven. The elevation is breathtaking. I've never had the same sense of speed anywhere else.
28ish laps in on my original rear Cup2s and 2nd set of Cup2 fronts. It's been hot ~87-89F, but I have a new found respect for Cup2s, they seem to really like whatever the WGI surface is made from. 2:08.02. Pressures 36 hot. -3.5F, -2.5R

I'm using a Racelogic Video VBOX.
That's what I hear!
I put some faster tires (R7s) on the second day. The temps were really working against me. There is so much HP loss between 70F and 90F. I could have easily gone faster in the afternoon with more accumulated practice and the time I was fortunate to receive from a very strong driver/coach in the right seat, but the car just could not keep up with the AM speeds.
I managed a 2.04.00 flat with the same alignment on R7s 40psi hot, 85F. I was on my way to a 3.5 on another lap, but I got into traffic at T6, so maybe next time!
Here are the Cup2s and R7s side by side so you can see where the times came from (watch in 1080 so you can see the velocity trace). Cup2s on OEM 20" wheels had a slight gearing advantage into T6, T7, T11 vs the 19" R7s. About 5%. I had to upshift to 4th on the way to T6 and T7.

Not trying to impress anyone or to change the official record..
My point was these cars very capable and IMO best on the more technical short courses.

sportlife2012 holds on to the top spot at Road Atlanta, but only by .2 sec.
Amazing laps this weekend with Chin, on Pirelli slicks and track alignment with monballs, tow links and a lot of camber.
Shaved 3 seconds off my personal best with those upgrades on a very familiar track. Got moved up to Advanced group too!
