Yes, I agree about the right foot control, but when one adds a considerable amount of power to a particular chassis, you potentially run into the issue of no being able to put the power down in a way that actually gets the car out of the turn any faster than with the lower power variant. Usually what I see happen is that one cannot fit a wide enough tire in the back to take full advantage of the power.
I should have been more clear. My question is whether or not you can fully take advantage of the added power. My gut says that one needs wider than 255 rear tires and that's what I'm trying to understand.
While I understand that skinny tires (225s) are best for fastest lap with an NA car, but it is not intuitively obvious how that would be true even for a "regular" 300HP JRSC car. Surely, with 300HP, you'd see faster times on wider tires and even wider, at least in the rear, for the high power version.
So, yeah, color me confused.
PS - My "standard" JRSC is being installed in a month so will get a chance to see how I am able to put the power down out of corners shortly... Thx @ CSG Mike for all the JRSC info in the past; pushed me in that direction |
I usually check what manufacturer use for street cars at the power level I'm looking for.
If the street car is fast on a racetrack, the tire size should not be too far off.
Like civic type R at 235mm for 320hp FWD.
You could look at Cayman gt4 and Exige V6 tire size.
