His vs. Tony for speeds: At the Bridge 122 / 129, peak (non-wheel spin) speeds 133 / 137, and minimum 120 / 118. Furthermore, towards the top of the hill in those corners, at the end of the LH rumble strip, Provoste was going 128 vs. 124, and at the start of the next rumble strip on the RH side, he was at 122 vs. 118.
Summary: Tony is decent but Provoste is much quicker of a driver in my opinion.

I appreciate the kind words, yeah the ZLE on 3R's has a ton more mechanical grip.
Of all the racetracks I've driven, I'd argue the climbing esses provide the greatest window into a driver's confidence in his/her abilities. You have to have a plan in place if you're going to attack the esses.
