I had another great Turn 2 event at RMP on Friday. Set a new PB of 2:01.09 on a hot track with extremely cycled-out SX2s! I only have the datalog from the lap, but here are a few laps in the ~2:02-2:03 range to give some idea of that the new Jackson Racing kit is like at the ridge. The track got quite greasy so I couldn't beat my time after the second session.

I'm still super wary in turns 1 and 4 since I've had a few heart-in-throat moments in the wet there recently. I'm still building up the courage to carry more speed into 1 and to get back on the power earlier out of 4. I'm only taking about 85-90 into 1, where I think 90-95 is doable even on these tires. Given that I'm going 128mph into the braking zone, everything happens faster than it did NA. Go figure.

According to @CSG Mike, the RE71Rs I have sitting in the shed should yield a 3 to 3.5 second faster lap (~1:58?). I guess we'll find out if that's true in a few weeks!

For reference, that's a 987 Cayman S in front of me. He was probably 1 to 1.5 seconds faster around a lap on stickier rubber. Nice to be able to hang with a Porsche.

I'll be at RMP again on Aug 3rd, and at Area 27 on Aug 23rd.
