Day 2 of gridlife didn’t go the way I expected. 2 more contenders showed up making a total of 11 drivers. And 7 out of 11 drivers pulled out brand new sticker tires for the day. One of the fits even had 6 tires not just a full set of 4.
i unfortunately missed podium by 0.117 of a second.
P1 and P2 are both fully gutted cars with cages. Full suspension and etc. one of them even has an aim dash in the car which seems insanely baller for sundae cup. they are basically built to the limit of the rulebook. Both of them got their weight checked because another driver contested them and one driver was 10 pounds away from minimum weight and the other way 20 pounds away with a full tank of gas.
I’m really off pace from my previous trip to Laguna. I did a 1.52 previously but my best of the weekend so far is a 1.54. These tires do have multiple heat cycles and RT660 do tend to fall off with heat cycles in my experience. I think a mix of heat cycled tires, poor weather conditions, and my group being the first to go after drifting made the conditions not so ideal.
drifting leaves lot of tire debris on the track for anyone who has never experienced it.
imagine a greasy track with debris everywhere.
I get one last session this Sunday morning to set a personal PB but it doesn’t count for podium, so I’m going fresh at 9am and sending it.
