86 Cup Tires/Point categories --> lap time difference?
86 Cup has a fairly good list of tires broken down into point differences :
https://www.86cup.us/rules/ i.e. up to 225 SX/2 are -1 point, RS4's are +1, Maxxis RC1 R2 are +2.5 etc. Is there anything that can be used to relate these points to lap time per minute or something similar? Just trying to get a feel for how much faster/slower each category of tire should be vs the others for HPDE. Thanks, Jim |

1 point is about 1 second, at Buttonwillow 13CW, a dedicated "test" track.
The differential will not be 1:1 at other venues, but gives you a pretty good idea of what mods do to the car in a track setting. Some tracks favor power, others favor mechanical grip, and others yet, will favor aero. |
