I take it you weren't able to get the Jackson racing kit dialed in?

It works ok. I reverted to an older DT tune that had the fewest symptoms.

I just don't really like the kit at the end of the day. It hasn't been worth the trouble and money I poured into it. So off it goes. YMMV.

What tire setup are you going to run this year?

You are probably sick of those SX2’s

Thank you for your contribution to the forum and your honesty.

It's a fantastic car, but I don't love it like I did the BRZ. Like, it's better than the BRZ in literally every way (except maybe handling), but I still miss the RWD manual simplicity.

I took those off near the end of last season. I was honestly just wanting to try something new. They still have life in them if I'm ever in a pinch. It's a great tire, at least in the dry.

I ended up buying a set of RE17Rs with a few wet laps on them and ran them for one day at the ridge. They feel a bit squishier than the SX2s, but obviously the grip is super fun. I could also totally tell when they dropped off mid-session as everyone claims.

I'll go back to a proper lapping tire after they wear down.

I am still on the Dunlop Z3 and I am pretty happy with it. They don't wear nearly as well as my Hankooks did but they are much grippier. They don't seem to drop off too hard when they get hot and I can get consistent laps through a whole session. My next step is likely going to be the NT01

Incase no one has heard, looks like they are adding a chicane to the front straight at the Ridge. I don't know if they will run this configuration all the time.

It's on their FB page. I believe it is mostly for the bikes. They did start on the pedestrian bridge.

Might actually be able to see some of the racing now.

It should give a pretty good view of a large portion of the track. Too bad spectators can't see the turn 2-5 section like that. That section of track really pitches the cars around and would have been great spectating.

Cant wait to get back to the ridge. Im getting cabin fever!

Whoa. I kinda hope they do. Turn 1 is my weakest part of the track
