lol at the blue tape though. if the Porsche doesn't need it, neither do any of the lesser cars, imo.

Yeah, that's a very tough corner. Coming off the skid pad
to a very sharp right. I couldn't find the right line to take there all day.

The track was a lot of fun. I learned in incredible amount for my first time. I need better tires next time.

I was contemplating tracking my c2s after doing PDE. Problem is i gotta take a ferry with my ride to neighbor island and it's a small track, 1/4 mile or smaller i think. They also autocross but i'm not sure i'd be interested in that.

What tires you suggest, Yoks?

Do you want a street tire or dedicated auto x tire? If your looking for a great reasonable priced street tire get the Hankook Ventus R-S2 (supposed to be a R-S3 coming out from what i was told) OR the Kuhmo Ecsta XS or MX

Thanx. Dedicated track tire. My michelin pilot ps2s are showing significant tread wear and i only have 5800 miles lolz. Definitely interested in not having to drop 2K for a new set of PS2s (I run 235s for front and 295s for rear). I heard the Bridgestone RE050As were pretty good.

I heard the same about the RE050As. I've never done Auto x and
frankly don't care after going to the Streets. Either way,
I would highly recommenced to try some type of auto racing event.
