One of the two friends I mentioned was on the podium this past year for OLOA. He ran a full weekend time trial at Sebring on PSS tires and I saw no visible degradation and lap times (2:16) were the equivalent to cars on full race slicks. I have seen similar results for the Forged and Top Speed GTR's on these same tires and I really don't understand why they work so well on just this platform?

That's less than 2 seconds faster than me in a 245whp BRZ. Video here: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4eS67W-crA"]BRZ Buttonwillow 13CW 1:57.394 - YouTube[/ame] Forged Performance's GTR is also over 6 seconds slower than the Evasive FRS. Are you still going to tell me that those GT-Rs are really being driven hard? Remember, at that level, racing is about money, not talent. I can do a 1:55 in a 100% stock GT-R at Buttonwillow 13CW, and I will cord/chunk the tires in less than 5 consecutive laps at that pace. |

Bring that FRS out to Hallett, and if it laps 6 seconds faster than Leh Keens GTR I will treat you all to dinner and drinks, and I don't go to cheap places.
Dead serious. |

That seems incredibly silly considering Leh Keen isn't a slouch... and I doubt Evasive would want Mike driving their car.

Maybe you need to get a more experienced driver in the right seat. They could coach you on the merits of not overdriving the equipment.

You forget that this is a "hot lap" situation, not a race, where car preservation is a factor. |

Funny, I saw a bunch of references to OLOA and that sure as hell an event where car preservation matters.

at no point has anyone compared lap times from a time attack style race, and OLOA. so trying to compare tire consumption between a time attack, and OLOA seems kind of pointless.

It does, but don't think the guys aren't driving the crap out of the cars for their 2 sessions at each track. Pretty cool seeing a GTR in a 4 wheel drift up "The Bitch" at Hallett. |
