TTD. 2:03.6 was the best time outside of the last session when I thought I blew up the car and went off track, cancelling the 2:02. I will get it next time, sub 2:00 on Hoosiers. There's also some time left on the table in #1-2 which is similar to 8-9 at Willow Springs, but probably a little more technical but the track is elevated over the run-off so it's much scarier. I figured out #6 a bit better but couldn't ever get my entry right on #5 to get down onto the apex paint of #6 to really hook it; I played with turn-in entry point, YAW, speed, and brake release all day. Next time I'll slam it. My car had shockingly fast closing rates in braking on 3, 4 6, 8-9, 10 (big time), and "Larry". I'm really proud of this car's set-up and I pretty much owe it all to AST, TSE, and 949. I was running down more than one TTB and TT3 car in several places on the track, cars which podium in their class.

TSE 11.75" front brakes, Sport rears, DTC-60 all the way around, ducting on the fronts, Sport master and booster, Wilwood prop valve. The car is shockingly good on brakes, that's where it makes-up all the time.

I'm still on the original rotors in the front and I'm on my 3rd box of front pads. I raced this car about 8 weekends with these brakes at 250whp, then I've done 3-years of 15-20 track days and weekends per year. The front brakes last almost 3x as long as the rears, and I run a ton of rear brake pressure. Buy them.

E, not sure since the list is not up yet. When he and I both switch to R6, we'll have a damn good run for the money. He's a super-good driver too. He makes a ton more HP than me, less grip though. That car already has KWs, camber plates, tubular control arms.

You don't have to. It's a shitload of points and probably doesn't make the most sense from a points perspective, but the brakes on this car are epic and I fell like I'm doing wild **** on trail braking because of it.
