Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[Todday1]

I am glad the discussions are including temp ranges. My fronts operate in the 1400 + range and rears 1000 to 1200 range. Heat painting rotor helps figure out what level pads you need.

what i found is called Genesis brake rotor paint

I can testify that the SM-RS 18" ET30 with Maxis RC-1s work but I had to remove the rubber on the perch. Very tight but fine.


Man I am stuck need something for the summer. Maybe another Stock set errr

Wow there was a lot said above. Not all from you but here goes…

As far as a summer “pad”, I keep my track pads on all season. There is some squeal, but it’s not bad. As least down here, rarely cold. And there is more dust. But they work fine in town. As for track use, the Hawk DTC60s are great. Even for experienced drivers. I still run them when I can‘t get a better pad up front. Thanks to Bryan’s (Razorlab) suggestion I tried project mu 999. Unfortunately I loved them, lol. They are still on there from my last track day. Sebring has some really high speed straights that I can brake a bit sooner with those on. Hawk DTC30s are perfect for the rear. I’ll keep using those regardless of what’s up front.

Backup consumables are a must. I‘ve got a set of project mu Club racers (finally came in -forgot I ordered ?), Hawk DTC 60s and 30s. If my p mu 999s don’t come in by October, I might finally bite the bullet and try the most expensive pad on the planet for our Supra -the mighty CSG ? ?My biggest fear is that I’ll like those too ?

Someone mentioned rotor wear. You can get new ones from RockAuto incredibly cheap. So I keep a spare set, front and rear. When it’s time to put some new pads on, bed the shit out of them like Bob (Rock) says and there shouldn’t be any mating issues.

Got in touch with a Canadian Project Mu supplier yesterday. He said the Club racers are in stock at Project Mu and the special order would take ~2 weeks to fullfil. I don't know if the import process is different here in Canada than in the US and that would affect availability, but I ordered them... Will keep you posted.

I tried Evasive yesterday and they said 3-4 months

I also reached out to Titan Motorsports yeasterday, they checked with Project Mu and came back to me this morning saying 4 to 6 weeks...

Friday was a good track day.

It was a hot day but my tires got unbelievably hot @ 158F...recorded by the car.

Not sure if it's a RT660 thing or a combination of the heat that day.

Hoping CRS will wear a bit better

Whre were you? TMP, Calabogie, Mosport?

158 is actually not bad at all. Almost to perfect operating temp. Keep driving!

Your photo of the tire looks normal? Most of that is track rubber you picked up.

Calabogie is my home track, about 90 mins from my house.

Looks normal to me and I wouldn't consider 158F overly hot either. Above optimal temps but nothing to worry about as long as you know you may need to start braking earlier or reduce corner speed. In the afternoon sessions in June/July in the south I can hit 200-215F near the last 1-2 hotlaps of a session.

Never went, but I'm heading there for my first time on August 2nd. My home track is Circuit Mont Tremblant, alors 90 minutes from home.

Good to know those temps are fine, I always thought a hot tire should be in the 125-150 range, good to hear I was in regular temps. Those of you running a super 200, what pressure are you aiming to run hot?

You're going to love it. A beautiful track even if its unliked by many with it's tire shredder reputation...something in the asphalt is really really not kind on tires.

I really loved Trembant, ran it in 2020 with my C4S but unfortunately got booted in the afternoon for being too loud. Turn 1 is so good and the esses before the bridge.

My current setup wouldn't pass I think.

Most Super200's I have used like around 32-33psi hot.

Yeah I had a 2016 GT4 for 5 years and even with exhaust mods to keed the sound down I would get flagged once in a while for breaking sound limits...

I got tired of dealing with that, sold the GT4 and bought a Supra...

Most likely the first track day with the Supra will be at Calabogie. It does have a tire shredder reputation, but everybody I speak to love the layout.

After saying I didn't want to be a guinea pig...I'm going to be your guinea pig for the PFC-11 on the front of the car. I'm waiting on Bimmerworld to get back to me and confirm that they're in stock, but if they are, I'm getting a set.

They are expensive, but not CSG expensive. There is a large base of users in the Porsche and BMW track world (did some looking around on Rennlist and Bimmerforums yesterday). It's a newer compound, but it's still been out a few years.

I thought hard about the Hawk ER-1, as Tire Rack can have them on my doorstep on Monday. There's not a whole lot of feedback on them globally, and my experience with Hawk race pads on the street is very dusty, very loud. (That's with the ancient Blue compound and several sets of DTC-60s on my E36).
