Hey guys, did a track day at Grattan Raceway yesterday, its known as a really technical track, definitely some areas that the C43 struggled with but still lots of fun. i did about 30-40 laps throughout the course of the day, this video is of my fastest lap.

I had GPS during this session to track top speed, it ended up being 118mph on the straight.

Nice job! looks like you had a lot of fun! Btw did you swap out tires for course duty,or were you running street tires?

street tires. it was my intention to have Bridgestone RE-11's installed for this event but Bridgestone is out of stock in my size until october. hence you hear alot of tire squealing!

I want to run a <200 treadwear tire but there is only one available right now that is asymmetric tread pattern that comes in my rear size (255/35/18). the new BFG Rival comp tires are releasing in more sizes this winter, so maybe those, but either way not until next season.

new vid from the track day i did last weekend, buddy filmed a short clip taking off from the start

i will have a vid of my fastest lap uploaded soon as well.

was a fun day but the car just has too much weight and not enough rubber in the front end. stiffer shocks might help the body roll and help out the front tires but can only improve it so much.
