Three new videos from my last track day at Mosport (6th Gear) Great day!! Weather was perfect and company even better.
New PSS's are amazing. I did have reservations about how well they would perform on the track considering how comfortable and quiet they run on the street. Every bit as solid and predictable as the RE11's and a lot quieter!!!

Nice driving Barry! Just the perfect thing to do to kill off time before your newly beloved (Black Series) comes home....needed to put that in paranthesis to clarify your not cheating on your wife.

Nice videos buddy! I especially like the first 5-6 minutes of the third video....
With your brutal sounding C63 breathing down my back, I totally screwed up turn 5b more than once.....

Nice vids Barry, I really need to put my summer vids as well I'm way behind!
So the Michelin PSS are street/track tires right?
Right now I love the Nitto NT-01 so much I'd find it impossible to go back to a non R compound tire...

Barry, great videos! Mosport looks like a blast to drive. I should come home and drive it. Your car sounds great and has some pull. Great job!
FYI - going to Frankfurt show later this month ot finalize spec on my BS and will let you know if I get any new info for you as far as options etc.

The car is right where I want it. Really hooks up and the mid range with the Eurocharged Stage 3 is insane. Keeping me sane while I wait>>> No more changes til the BS arrives.....
Have fun in Frankfurt. Wish I could join you.
Cheers.

True. The sidewall is not a stiff as the RE11 but its not all about stiff sidewalls. Track times are the same on both tires and the PSS is way quieter. The RE11 is an amazing tire but after a good hard track day the become VERY loud. Not an uncommon affliction with tires after a track day. So far the PPSs has been immune>>>

I can't believe they allow passing on the right at your club track days. The SCCA is very picky about passing rules in Seattle. Too many accidents I guess.

How are your Nitto's for wear? I'll get about 10K about of my Dunlop Star Specs with one season of autoX and track time. I was considering the jump to R's but don't know about leaving them on in the winter.
