Little update @ 14,000 miles and 40 track days.
Last time the filters were changed was at the first annual service at 10,000 miles at the dealer back in September.
We thought we better check again after about 10 track days and they were full of rubber.
Orbit had it apart anyway to install the Fabspeed / GT3 OEM side muffler delete. The Ti center goes in the box with the side mufflers.
Maybe we have to think about screens like the GT4 guys have them in the side air intakes.
BTW, see a few posts back @ 13,000 miles and 6 track days the oil was fine.
Now @ 14,000 miles and 3-4 track days and will be running another 5-6 days next week for a total of 8-10 more days and will do another oil analysis @ around 15,000 miles.
Setup:
Still the factory recommended track ride height and rake, -2 Camber al around 0 toe front and 1.5mm toe each side rear. Sway bars still all stiff.
Rear tires lasting about 4 days and fronts 6+ but they are slow after 3 days anyway so I'm replacing all 4 every 4 track days if I want to last second, if not I can leave the fronts on and deal with a bit of push (Or soften rear sway bar for the last few days on old fronts).
Took some wing off the car when I added the Dundon Gurnbey flap and it worked. Still flat through Bishop on good tires and a little more top speed.
Brakes:
I replaced the front rotors again after 20 days. So on my second set after 40 track days.
After this week I will hopefully have 8-10 hard Sebring days and I started with fresh Race Technologies RE10 pads in front.
Rears rotors still original after 40 days.
Sorry cant rotate the photo for some reason.

Thanks for that update.
The only change I'm contemplating for the season is stiffer springs. Have you looked into that yet?

Always wondered where the rubber from my tires disappeared to.
on a realistic note , P service interval for the air filters on the RS is 1yr or 6k miles thats 1/2 the lowly 3's interval for fresh air.

It may make tires last better but not so sure it will be faster.

Great pictures guys! Juts like being there. Love the air under the passenger front wheel!
Pete. I think you are close to the sweet spot for tyre wear vs performance. Im struggling to get a 4th day out of my fronts (GT3), rears good for 6 (but loosing some ultimate grip) changing all four every four days. -2.0/-2.0, 0 front toe, -1.5 L+R at rear same as you. Expensive hobby...

Wow Peter! Love seeing you enjoying (tracking) your beast!
Doing a bit of work to my race car this winter so syched for spring. My question to you is I plan tracking my RS a bit. Should I make some adjustments before heading out of just run it "box stock?" Car sitting on a lift now play with sway bar?
common sence tells me just run it but figured I'd ask...Ur the man

No I do use an OEM GT3 center muffler. I suspect the Ti is to weak.
