Post race inspection revealed no flaws with the car, ran great all day..

Joe is a good guy, talked to him just the other day about Preston's R too.

12 sessions................... that is amazing. 4-6 is the norm.
You probably never turned the car off. lol

Funny that you say that. There was a period where the session ended and I went back to my pit area, got out and removed my helmet while the car was idling to cool the oil. I then realized I was low on fuel. I hopped back in and went to the pumps, came back and they called the next session. The car was only off while refueling.

That is a great track day. Seat time makes you better.

[QUOTE=D2M;9250632]With the Pirellis I would have been faster. I have run faster lap times then he was on Trofeos. However I dont think it would have been a fair fight. Cup 2 is a 180 treadware RE-11 are 200, yes the Cup 2 is a better tire but nowhere near a TrofeoR as far as grip goes.

True, but as I understand it, Ford worked Michelin to develop that tire specifically for the GT350R. So, with Trofeos you'd have both been running with tires developed for each car.

D2M · 08-10-2016, 08:04 PM

Good point. In that case I think I could have been faster. I have run a 1:13.0x before on the Trofeos. Im sure i could have gotten in to the 12s in the heat of battle.
