That could explain the lack of gain from the R888R - any tire can be over driven and once it's out of its operating temp range, it's a losing battle until you back off and cool the tire back to its happy place  |
Grand sport is heavy with power and good downforce (for what it is). It's pretty easy to get them greasy within a few laps. Maybe it's the third full lap rather than second (I haven't run them since I went though them so fast).
Haven't run NT01 on the GS yet, but R888R are VERY pressure sensitive as well, as you might expect. I can't remember the numbers right now, but I want to say they were good at 33 and worthless at 36 or so. Might be off on those numbers- this was 4 months ago.
edit: and yeah, obviously I was over-driving them
