I could finally get some proper seat time at the Ridge yesterday. At the last event I could only do one session with the Trofeo Rs.
Yesterday, crew seemed a lot more organized and there were only a handful of people there so I had a chance to try the NT01s. They felt great and I didn't have any rubbing issues (yay). I could push it better and as a result I improved my personal best by another second (1:54s)
After the third session, however, I had a flat tire :/ Fortunately, I was able to put some air and drive it to the Les schwab and had them fix my tire. I got screwed, literally
I said to myself I shouldn't let this ruin my day especially since there is no traffic and the weather was not hot (Ambient temps at around ~63F )
I turned back and improved my best lap for another second after that!
The front tires definitely begs for more camber. As turn in was not as good as I am used to, I had to alter my driving style (more trail braking) and my lines but car felt a bit more planted at the corner exits.
Lap times were pretty consistent and as you can see 1:52s are very possible. In fact, I was doing better at the last lap until I had to drift at one corner and blew that lap. Oh well
and here's a video of my personal best lap the Ridge:
