This is a fun look Circuit Of The Americas with Edge Addicts 10/22 day 1. I split duties between instructing and running my car in the advanced red run group. 2 of the 5 sessions were lost right away due to incidents on the track. The footage is from the remaining 3 sessions. I ran Goodyear...
Thanks! A group of us did a private track day at Hallett this summer. We are going again next spring. If interested, send me a PM and I’ll reach out to the guy organizing it to see if he has any spots open. We had a fun day there.
The sounds that come out of the 2020+ GT500 are absolutely...
Yes! COTA has the most intense speeds and braking of the tracks I have been to. The back straight is 160+ and the front is 140+. Both straights have a more than 90 degree turn at the end. I ran Hawk pads and Motul RBF 700 for the first time at COTA this weekend. The braking was absolutely NUTS!
Thanks for the tip. I had them heat cycled before delivery and I always take my time warming the tires before unleashing the power. I’ll see how these compare to SC2 & R7.
Thanks for your insight. Haven’t heard of any of that before. My brakes will be getting the ultimate test this weekend at COTA. I’m running these Hawk pads there as well as Motul RBF700 brake fluid for the first time.
Thanks Phillip! I went with the phone mount in the link below. I also added a some stick on felt in the little shelf that is at the bottom of the nav screen. The phone mount does a good job holding the phone and the added felt assists even more on keeping it all stable at the track… I rest the...
760 hp + OIR is absolutely INSANE! I hit the highest speed over the jump that is called the "roller coaster" of all cars there this weekend. Day 2 started out wet. The track dried as the day progressed. I had more trouble with my Hoosier R7 tires. They were new for the weekend. I had bad...
I did the one event (2 track days) at OIR thus far. I have the big brake test coming up in less than two weeks though... going back to COTA, which is extremely hard on brakes.
I talk about rotor wear in the video. Hawk advises not to run the DTC-70 pads on the street. When at cooler street...
Thank Tony!
My next planned trip there is the first week of May for Shelbyfest 2023, which is in Jefferson City. There will be a track day or two again at OIR.
These pads are track pads with an aggressive bite. They have more dust than the OEM pads. These are not street pads though, so dust is not a concern for me, only performance. If someone wanted low to no dust street pads, go with ceramic pads.
My wheels are ceramic coated. The thick track dust...
