Wow, that's quite an angle the sidewalls are deforming to in the corner.

The mechanical grip is real on the GTS!

Agreed on MDM. I was hoping the GTS would be set up with a track-acceptable MDM, but it's no different than the base car and constantly in the way. The car inspires confidence with it off.

What tire pressures were you running at? I was using 36/35 and the car felt great, but the fronts were done after 1 1/2 days. Gotta figure out if there's a way to improve that to at least 2 days.

Looks like your pressures were too low...

No issue with the rears, a few small blisters on the outer edge of the fronts. Two full days and one 4 hour night session of hard driving.

Great I had no issues either with my day. Hopefully not luck and they'll wear the same next time out. Tires every track day doesn't sound that exciting......
