Is the thinking that the tires are the limiting factor?

From what I saw at Sebring, the driver seems to be the limiting factor in 50 percent of cases. For the other 50, it seemed that the tires were in the way of faster cornering speeds and late-hard braking... Sean, get ready to eat some SPB for breakfast...

Just comparisons to peak times of various drivers to their peak times at various tracks. For example, if you compare my Road Atlanta SPB and C1 you can extrapolate my LRP time. Usually that method is pretty accurate to within a few tenths.

The R888s are near the bottom barrel of R compound tires and we're limited to the PSS9 suspension, the first level of upgrade over stock, typically. I have limited experience in the car, of course, but it is surprisingly good. I was hovering around the top three E cars at Road Atlanta, which I thought was good. I'm not remembering D cars.

It seems that all we'll see at LRP is a comparison in times... SPB and D/E won't be running in the same group.

Yeah, I just saw that. It is a very weird split to put SPB with F and G! Oh well, we'll bring up the rear.
