Start with 33/31 and figure it out for your setup from there.

Go harder in the sweepers than you would on the Bridgestones. Also, turn in will be slower. And they're wider than the stones. Noticeably so.

I hope CS and DS have similar run conditions to get a gauge on where we stand in Lincoln. |

CS had crazy rain+standing water and small flowing rivers on course. (2nd heat Champ Tour day one..DS got dry for all their runs) Day 2 was dry for CS and DS but DS got warm pavement. I had issues with the bumpy surface that led to me underdriving until the second heat of the Match Tour. Once I accepted that the car was going to move around a lot, (and stopped trying to keep the car "smooth" everywhere) I think I made a better data point. The car wasn't off the pace (CS) before the second heat of the Match Tour, I was. Wolf was on fire in DS for day 2 of the Champ Tour but ran a Vette for the Match. (He said he intends to run a Vette at Nationals.) Last edited by Twinz; 07-04-2017 at 04:58 PM. |

The lot was extremely bumpy, but being smooth equaled being fast. Trying to hamfist the car (at least for me) led to cones and not any faster time Last edited by M0nk3y; 07-05-2017 at 01:49 PM. |

I did get a chance to play around in PA with Simmons and a few other DS FRS/BRZs last Sunday, but I was still a couple tenths off on very old Kumhos and TRD springs vs. their Bridgestones/BFGs. I have pretty high hopes for the BFGs, but I found a set of slightly used RE71Rs just in case. |

Once I changed my approach, I still tried to keep my *inputs* smooth. I just stopped trying to "correct" all the movement that came from hitting the bumps at speed. My cone-proximity was meh but my speed-maintenance instantly improved and my times were finally at the pointy end of CS. |

So would anyone be willing to compare times on the test n tune course at Toledo? This will be my first national event and I have only had the car since February.
