2018 GT PP1 4500 miles. So... New car, new track and new DE organization.
The only things that i have done to the car is a brake flush, MMS camber plates and an alignment. The alignment shop could only get -1.9 camber up front and -1.5 in the rear.
If any of you have been to Barbers you will know how nice of a track it is. I cant get over how well put together everything was there.
Onto the car, it surpassed my expectations. Throughout the weekend it never did anything drastic or anything bad. In fact, my instructor brought up more than one time how well it seemed to be balanced. I wouldn't say the car is a rockstar of track cars but it is a very easy car to drive. Not to much power but just enough. Third gear was a little tall for this track but i will work around that with gear selection for that.
I have the stock wheels so the front is a little more narrow than the rear so I could invoke some understeer under throttle but overall the car is very balanced. I think more camber up front will help that. With the alignment setting the car rotated very well(not under power). This track is notorious for chewing up tires and I did see an excess amount of wear on the front left tire. I maintained around 35-36 PSI but it still rounded the edge. More camber will fix that i hope.
The brakes performed flawlessly. I had done a flush with RBF 600 the weekend prior so it was good. I had zero fade or peddle degradation even with using the stock pads. The upside to this track is that the speeds are not real high so i believe that helped.
Additionally, the oil temp stayed in check and i did not get any rear end temp warning. I think partly because I stayed in a higher gear.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the car. I cant wait to get back out there. Hope to see some of you around the area.
