Default Bridegestone Potenza Race

Anyone try this tire yet? Comparisons to the standard track fares? A052, RT660, Cup2 etc?
Probably better comp to Yokohama and Michelin given available P car sizes

I’d be interested in comparisons with the Re-71rs.

Heres a great track review of the Potenza Race and the RE71RS.

Not at the same level as the RE71RS or A052 but he references some advantages over Cup2s in other tests.

Bumping this thread, anyone have any track experience with these tires? I'm looking for something more endurance than outright grip... I'm interested how these compare to Hankook RS4.

FWIW, when the Bridgestone Re71rs was not available, I tried a set of the Toyo r888r’s. I found them noticeably slower than the Bridgestones, but in my case they were durable as hell on my 981 GT4.
