Yeah, had to give them a try after everything I've been hearing/reading. The consensus has been accurate, they grip immediately and offer more grip than the NT01s. But they are temperamental and get greasy, needing to be cooled down after a few hot laps. Also, I don't think they will last longer than a handful of days. I've got three days on mine and they are already looking very beat up.

Was a bit lucky in that we had the perfect conditions: cool day, with lots of rubber laid down from the IMSA guys two days before. But I wish my official lap was a little more convincing, rather than 59.9x. But, I'll take it. I had a best rolling lap of 59.5 and theoretical best of low 59s. So, you know, even though I said to myself that I would ease up after breaking the minute mark, now I wonder if 58s are possible.
Awesome run.... were you just lifting in the downhill, or brushing the brakes?
