Lap Times Thread

Not a restriction, but a .7 penalty. You are still well within limits so slicks are ok. The catch is that since TT is lap time based many people don't run full sessions and cool down early meaning traffic. If you can get 3-4 clean laps then go for it. But that won't happen all of the time. Hence the reason most run A6. No penalty and hot almost immediately.

I completely destroyed a set of v710's on my Boxster S in one weekend at La Junta. (Ask Chris Lennon about that weekend next time you see him )
I can't see them lasting better on your TT.

Yeah, I was a bit optimistic. The V710s are fast but after running a few sets I average 8-10 sessions before they're done.

8-10 sessions is basically one weekend. Is that all they are good for? I remember mine almost always being done prematurely but can't remember why? Are you cording them or just no grip left?
The good thing about hoosiers is that even though grip may fall off, they are some pretty tough tires. I've gotten 23 HC (mixed TT and DE) out of some before the rears corded. Fronts were good for 10 more. However Road Atlanta, is super easy on tires and every lap was done there. But ran white knuckle 1:27 the last TT session before the rears corded, so still fast. Probably would last 15-17 at VIR and fall off about 2 seconds instead of 1 at peak, and 3 seconds after more than 2-3 laps in a TT. The R6 would be slightly slower, but maintain performance better over the life of the tire.

2010 Boxster S Stock PDK Sport Chrono
Big Willow 1.42.7. (first time at Big willow with this car, front tires are the OEM tires that came with the car at 5 years old with about 20% left....i think it might shave another half a sec if I had better front tires)
