The new Bridgestone is getting unveiled at PRI in December and TireRack will have the required number of sizes in stock by 31 December to be SCCA legal in 2026.
There's no right answer here. Experiment with the different modes and see what works best for you and your driving style.
Some also resort to pedal dance simply to get out of +R suspension, because of surface. It all really depends on a number of factors.
Personally, I like Long Hold +R -- I...
Recheck your alignment, and maybe have it done by a different shop to make sure your regular shop's rack isn't off. You should absolutely not be cording a tire like that, that quickly
Lightning Lap times are such a silly metric to stand on.
The drivers are entirely different calibers between one another. They do it on Grand West, which no one really has much experience on -- and you typically have 1 or 2 options to drive it publicly per year.
Anyone who regularly drives...
I drove it home with the code. It self cleared after sitting, but it was still logged with the freeze frame in the ECU. Limping it just means you can’t go over a certain RPM. It was fine to drive home
Yup! I have my HPFP replaced under warranty last September and the problem hasn’t come back. I also top off after every session now to not stress the pump.
Only thing I found rough with CMP was fuel starve in T12 in my A90. And uh, the exit of T10 when you don't lift at 135 mph :oops:
Also oof -- I just went back and watched the video of my 1:37.1 -- the car is SO unstable everywhere it makes me sad. The JRZ's just went on before the event, and I...
I had a set and mistakenly swapped for the Vitour, so I still haven't given them a fair shake.
I was planning on using them for DE, since I wouldn't care so much about the lap or 2 warmup, but given I shifted back to Time Attack, I didn't want to have to think about the rears coming up to temp...
The setup pairs well with the A052 as well -- just as always, go into it knowing it has a small window. I find that even after it gets hot it's still faster than most, but it's still not that first lap crack haha
They also didn't work in the dry + warm for me either :p.
It was honestly so bad that I was convinced something was wrong with the car, and was ready to pull the PWR intercooler off, because I was blaming it over the tires. Swapped the tires for good measure before I rage swapped by stock...
