Default Spyder Video at Laguna Seca

One of my laps from yesterday. Horrible tires slowed my lap times by 3 or 4 seconds compared to the PS2's I ran previously. Since the Cups are FINALLY available (way to get it together Michelin ), they will be on for the next track day.

Sorry for the link, I don't know how to post the vid here.

Nice Video. Good to know about those tires. What do you think of Harry's laptimer?

You will be stunned and amazed at how some decent tires (Pirelli Trofeo's or MPSC's) will transform a Spyder. With that said I though R888 were favored as a track tire? I have not tried them.

I'll do a new post with my (personal) tire research.

That's too bad. I thought the Toyos may get better for you as they wore in. Thanks for the update. Photographer David Bush who was at Infineon took a picture of our Spyders as well as some other cars.

Nice pic! It was also a pleasure to meet you, and always good to see another Spyder on the track. They now make the Cups in the rear size for our car, so it should be great next time out!

It was great meeting you as well. Thanks again for the assistance with the top when it started pouring.
