The car's modes were was designed for that tire/brake combo all the way to expert.

Learn to brake late and maximize your on throttle/on brake points. If coasting or maintenance throttle (with *very* few exceptions) you have more to learn.

With the SS 1LE and SC3s you should be about even with well driven Porsche 718s (not GT4s) and 2/3 Series BMWs.

In the meantime target your hot pressures. You'll need to air up then down 1-3psi on days with cold mornings and hot afternoons.

Edit: yes use lap times to tune and measure progress. You'll have to correct for traffic. Try starting out after most of left the grid or come in to the pits if stuck in a pack.
Thanks! I'm about the read the 30-page PTM thread, but is there a difference in catching a slide in Sport 2 vs Race? Either more yaw assist (I know they say it's full off) OR maybe less available torque in Sport 2 to do so?

Gonna run ECFs and these endurance pads just to help with longevity and consistency, but i hear you on stock. looking more for predictability and longevity than outright performance.
