So the class rules overlap enough that you can enter a car in Conti GS + WC GTS? Interesting, I didn't realize that was possible. Do you have to make any little changes when switching from one spec...

I've fit 275's and 285's up front on 18x10+34 (and you're 4mm further inside at +30). I don't get any real rubbing on the wheel well or fender edge at those sizes, but it's a tight fit. I do...

Random updates: I chunked a front brake pad at CotA. These were the Carbon-Lorraine RC6E. They had plenty of thickness left, but they've been on the car for nearly a year, so I guess their age and...

I'd say generally MSR-H's surface is better-maintained than TWS, but even at TWS most of the problem areas aren't on the racing line. Neither is going to destroy your tires (as in, cause them to...
