Ponce Speedway (Puerto Rico) - 1:40.31



Stock Dunlop RFT's suck. But I still shaved 3 seconds off my best time last time out!

for extra info for stock 1er's running the Dunlop RFT's:

-Set front to 45psi cold.
-Set rear to 40psi cold, drop to 38 after tires heat up.

-The residual heat in the tread compound loses about 1 second a lap for me on my logging as the tire temps increased. To the first hot lap was the best.

-Compensation for heat in the tread compound can be partially compensated for by dropping the pressures. However I would not go below 35psi.

-I was seeing much rollover on the tread from my chalk, so even at high pressures, the carcass is not very stiff laterally.

-I did pull about 1G indicated during a sweeper section of the track as the car was progressively loaded. But clearly pathetic in comparison to r-compounds.
