RS Clubsport: We removed the two screens at the rear of the front wheel arch which were installed to prevent stone and dirt build up below the doors. The severe weather in the northeast knocked out our transportation to FL. Next track date in March. Bummer

Update on tire pressures hot?
Any additional data regarding hot tire pressures?
I was running today and pressures were around 39-40psi. Lots of squeal and push. I was too busy giving rides to people, so didnt try lowering pressures. I do think that 39-40psi is too high.
Great fun, nonetheless!

I'd try somewhere around 30 to 32 psi hot. The OE Michelin's are not good on track, the only viable alternative I've used are Michelin slicks on 18" BBS rims.
Then the car is really quite something on track.

Thanks - would love to use slicks - I run them on my Cup and there is no comparison. Can't imagine what slicks on a CGT must be like!

I could not find 255/40/19 corsa anymore on tirerack. Does Pirelli stop making them or not? What are the alternatives then if I want to go for the BBS 19" option for my CGT? thanks
