That's why I gave up LFB later. "Two pedals at a time" game in corners like this is too reckless.

It's a track day at Spa, when there was a wet snow. I had MPSC2 with a good amount of track wear. No issues. Not the same as dry, but no issues at all.
What a cool shot.

Here's my favorite autocross rain shot. This was pulling into the stop box this March. The PSC2s aren't as good, in the rain, as my winter tires, but I've found them pretty consistent and predictable.

Left foot braking caused the rear wheel lift?? Please elaborate.

With LFB i used my own perverted version of trailbraking basically in every corner. Series of small "corrective" brakings all the way to the apex, while pushing the throttle. Rear goes very light if you do this in a "nervous" manner.

If you're familiar with this specific corner, you know it goes down the hill, so it worked out this way.

My lap times improved big time when I stopped doing this. Needless to say about pads-rotors-tyres lifetimes

Now with RFB I finally switched to normal trailbraking and only whre it's needed.

I got a deposit down for the .2 gt3. Wondering can you just select if you want dunlops or cup 2's?
I drove my rs4 b8 with dunlop sportmaxx race and totally loved this tire, amazing in dry and on that car very good in wet! Tracked it at nordschleife. How bad is the cup 2s on wetncompared to the dunlops?

Tyres are consumables.

Get your car with one, then when it's worn out (1 day to 1 month in average) try another. Easy.

I'm pretty sure that you have no influence as to which tire your car will be built with. I think that you'll find a lot of people who prefer the PSC2s, though. So, pre-arrange a swap.

Wondering if on the .2gt3, will there be any different tire options or improved MPSC2's?

Could have been worse with Trofeo-R tires. Drove the Cup 2 in rain many times on road and track, and you have to be careful but the Trofeos are nearly impossible to drive on the highway (for me) faster than 45 mph as they constantly send "I'm flirting with hydroplaning" signals at that speed or higher. Regardless, sad to see this happen.
