Long time since last update ...
Just back from another day at Thunderhill. Love that track.

New tires (RE11) this time, didn't help that much, I just haven't driven enough this year to keep up the "skills". In the end I managed a 2:12.8 which is better than before but not much. I had plenty of laps at 2:13.0 though so there is an improvement but I make lousy turn in's. Gotta work on that.
When doing the Time Trial I got a time of 2:12.999 on the 2nd lap but I completely destroyed that lap by over driving turn 14 and getting a slow entry speed onto the straight for the 2nd lap.
The car I was following (and catching up to) did 2:11.3. So that should be doable with this setup.

The RE11s are so different from the PS2s. They start squealing immediately but that means nothing as you have plenty of grip left after that, just floor it and trust the tires :-)

Overall, it was two fun days with a good set of people.

And btw, the 996 is a fantastic car!
