Couple interesting notes from track

Just finished another day. A couple more notes for you guys

#7 The VDC is horrible, I left it on for my warmup lap and the dash light was flashing like a xmas tree. I didn't go fast enough to cut engine power, but no doubt the VDC would cut into the life of the pads even under regular driving on track. I was doing my warmup lap, imagine if it was a lap at speed. I did a lap with full VDC on, it was 5 sec slower. It just kept applying the brakes and cutting power even when I am not snapping lose. The E46 M3 I drove had a much better VDC system, it never kicked in unless you are out of control.

#8 Bridgestone RE11 is an amazing street tire. It still cant do multiple hot laps like the R comps, but it can definitely hold its own in the times department (1-2.5 sec slower than R comps).

Back to #2, the starvation is definitely an issue that needs to be looked at. My car started cutting out after burning only 6 gallons at a different track. It is mostly long continuous right handers that causes the fuel starve

Back to #5, it was about 85-90F today. The car was running slightly more, but still mostly between 220-260. I did start to creep past 260 when I did my 4th straight hot laps.
