I've had a nice session yesterday near Berlin. First time with 2,6 negative camber. Was able to beat my goal by 1 second and the lap felt great all along. Feedback welcome

Quick summary on the tires:
I had to use Cup 2s since my imported G3s are still on the ocean. Overall I gotta say I'm not too impressed. The rears (Ferrari spec) were okay but the fronts are just too soft for my taste (M4 rear spec). All 4 have a very small optimal window in terms of temp and need very low pressure to wear evenly, about 200 kpa hot. They surely are fast in the right temps but after 15 min of good laps start decreasing in performance. Might be spec related though..
Unfortunately Nittos or Re71s are not available in Germany, so for now importing G3s seems to be the best option in terms of performance and longevity. I have 2 sets coming.

And here are some pix of the newly sponsored car. With a few emails I was able to get 2 free track days and some heavy discounts. Definitely worth the effort

Nice! I wasn't sure if there were any/many 6th Gen 1LEs in Germany. I'll be joining you next March!

Thanks! I think there are extremely few. I've once seen one for sale online which then got imported. Otherwise no traces ^^
You are moving to Germany/Berlin with a 1LE? I can recommend you a company that does the import and all necessary mods to get it licensed here. Worked very well for me.

Did an HPDE day at Harris Hill with Longhorn Racing Academy in the 2018 Camaro SS 1LE. After the rain stopped the track was still a little damp but not too bad. Car ran a lot better with the track alignment and I got down to 1:32 lap which is great for me in these conditions. Session cut short when a Porsche motor went boom!

Well even better! You're actually in a pretty good location in terms of race tracks. Spa (Belgium), Hockenheim and Nürburgring are close. So three Formula 1 tracks around, that's not too bad

I'm going to 2 of those this summer, so I'm sure I'll do it again next year. Will let u know
