That was certainly fun to watch - thanks for posting!

It looks like you were using pretty much all of the track; is that your perception of it?

Also, tires: compound, size(s), and HCs? Do you switch up with tires, or do you buy a set, run them for a more or less fixed set of HCs, and then put on a fresh set; or, do you use some other scheme?

There's still a few curbs I can use more of, for sure. They tend to be at the end of corner complexes where if you don't set up the beginning fast / correctly, you're slower at the end. Exits of t2, t3a and t8a are good examples here.

275/35/18 Toyo RR in this video, old set I had lying around with about a dozen HC at this point of the day. This was just a shakedown to see if the car runs after lots of changes, and to remember how to drive it after 6 months, no point in wasting new rubber.

We'll see what works for competition over the course of the season. Plan is to run Hoosier R7s. I suspect 2 quali + 2 race HC for the weekend, then relegate them to test/practice duties.
