I have tracked a v6 auto, didn't go into limp mode, temps were in the 70-80's, didn't do really long sessions but it's road Atlanta and its looooong back straight. I also had a bad bank 2 02 sensor as soon as I drove off the lot. :( Changed it before track day.

Real world data from Road Atlanta track for a stock auto V6: 49.2 - 74.4 took 2.80 seconds 49.2 - 73.9 took 2.70 seconds measured at 10 Hz with a Dual GPS and Harry's lap timer. Got me interested in 50-100 times: 7.2-7.3 seconds.

I bought the reusable stickers from clubregistration (you're right, magnetic won't work), and they worked well and removed easily enough. I don't think they'll be an issue using them a few more times.

watch the video for some secrets to getting the retaining pins back in.

Braking zones which require non-maximal braking are the issue, ones where a longer/gentler brake is better for weight transfer and lap times. Not a tire issue, it's the same through the session, and since this was open pits it was easy to go in, lower pressure, and head right back out. Caymans...

Yeah, the previous discussion of pads is what made me try the PFCs, which I got from Discoveryparts. I picked the 08's based on their lower Mu. Thinking about it more, maybe I should describe it as non-linearity in behavior during depress. I try to apply the brakes to what I think is the right...

Video Link (I think) to second best lap:

:) That didn't work even when Craiglist was a thing!

I plan to attend Jzilla's open track day Sunday May 18. Anyone else? I highly recommend open track days for anyone who's an experienced intermediate 1 or above, even though it costs a lot more. The freedom to come and go as needed and lower car count makes for a much less stressful day and more...

To the owner of the Red I4, Don't know if you're on here, but I saw your car at Knox Details, and I might have seen it on Foothills today leading a few other cars. I was on my bike so I couldn't really catch up to say hi. Reach out if you're on here! Gwman -- 2024 Seneca Blue V6FE

I think it's 7838 and 7869. https://pfc.parts/?s=Lotus+Evora-400&search_id=1&post_type=product I've found 7838.08 but the 7869 so far only the 332 compound which is expensive. I might email them.
