finally able to get a 26s, able to match my previous time with the FK8. quite happy, since this car is stock power with no downforce.
I was getting consistent 27s in the morning with 235 square setup, and the front tire gave up and showing a bit cords, so I switched to my spares, and this PB was with 235/245 staggered setup.
The staggered setup was defintely interesting to run. it introduced more understeer in slower corners, but I was able to carry more speed through highspeed corners. after 2 years of practice, I think I will go back to 245 sqaure setup next year.
