First Auto-X with R's!

WOW! It's incredible. My times went down maybe 2.5-3 seconds on a 70 second course!! I can put so much more power to the ground and my 'street-stiff' suspension feels so mushy...

I managed a 6th place in my class. A personnal best considering that we were 13... I'm very happy.

I do have som 20mb videos of my runs. Feel free to take a look.

Congratulations on your successful event! You'll never want to race on street tires again. It only gets more expensive from here, hehe.

I am very happy. And that position does put me high in the Yokohama contingency plan for this year... hopefully, my next set of tires will be free!

I guess the staggered setup worked pretty well? How did it handle? tight at corner entry? on the throttle? pretty neutral??

I do have a small tendency to understeer at the entry. Most probably cause by me arriving to fast. At the exit, I can almost stab the gas and still keep a very neutral "drift". I'd say that the staggered setup really helps at the exit. After correcting my last 2 runs, I did manage not to understeer the places I was understeering. Seriously, handling is great. Grips a whole new level. It helps on corners and straightaways (I can finally put power to the ground without skidding constantly).

Now, I do need to learn on how to drive the tires at the limit. It's pretty easy to underdrive them or overdrive them. The key to a fast run is driving them at the limit!

I ran 35 - 32.5 pressures. I need to do a little more research on that.
