Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

[johnloov]

Cup 2 Connects Type R - Dropped my PB by 1 second, 3 times, and was consistently faster. Very curious on the OE spec HO Cup2 - how much faster would they have been. Moved to ~1MM toe out in front for next week, to see if it helps with turn in on turn 6.





Ran it a bit over inflated, trying to find the best PSI Cold - 35 PSI Front Rear 32 Cold, was too high, brought that down to 30/27 Cold, it was much better.

If anyone knows the perfect PSI Cold for the Cup2's on Stock FL5 Type R rims, let us know.

Started to eat the center thread - That's one track day at Laguna

I'm not sure, but I'm running my fastest times with short press on, and it doesn't feel anywhere as intrusive as with just TypeR Mode, and I'm very fast on dry and wet, and I feel it really come on right before a spin. It saved me on a fast downhill after the corkscrew. My tires touched the outside of the track.

Also @pointsbypatrol ran his fastest time with all nannies accidentally ON.

We need to stop demonizing the traction control Nanny. She's a fun one.

I was thinking nannies are a bad thing, but the Type R traction settings are a Nanny that lets you have a lot of fun and come home alive.

It beats going into the wall, which I'm sure I would be there also without light press.

I ran my fastest lap at NCCAR with the nannies, but VIR is +R with long press.
