Best lap of 2019 on the new track surface. On line, the grip felt relatively consistent with last year, off line it was a little less. I drove a few cars while I was there on street tires with comparative data from the previous track surface. Still had a load of outside front left tire wear and finished off the slicks by the end of the weekend. Have previously used DTC-70, ST-43 and a few other brake pad compounds in the past. This time I decided to try out the power stop pads to see if it was a waste or not. Welp, they work. And when I say the work, I mean they work great. Almost the same bite as the 70's which has been my long time pad of choice on a ton of platforms including the camaro. No fade whatsoever...and I tried to make them fail. They didn't overheat the calipers and rotor wear and pad wear was less than the 70's.
Lap data was monitored on PDR, Aim solo 2, and APEX Pro. I will post up go pro footage of a slower lap as well, sadly the battery died when I ran the fastest lap. Still mistakes being made in the car and room for improvement on this lap. Lots of traffic all weekend and only had a few laps to really push. Even with this being one of the laps, I still wasn't able to put it all together. A time of 1:33.xx is out there for sure, maybe even a 1:32.xx...maybe next year I can get it together. ha!
