It is going to be interesting. soft for red bulls, medium for Mercs. mercs are in front so if red bulls doesn't overtake Mercs in the beginning, it's going to be a tough fight assuming both will equip hard on 2nd stint. perhaps undercut will yield better result?
that's right, spray from mother's. it was only ~$16 from pepboys and I had it in my hand already. I'm sure better ceramic coat product can provide better results. ;)
One other thing to add... these wheels were in my living while waiting for spacers to come. during that time, I put 3 coats of CMX, 24 hours between each coat, hoping that it will yield easier wheel cleaning after track days.
It worked! Although it wasn't just hose it and done, cleaning was...

This week's challenge!
Only 4 points between redbull & merc as we are entering hungaroring. Will redbull extend their lead? or fall behind merc?
I am going for merc overtaking redbull. because this is such a coin toss! :)
Maxton lip are fairly simple to install. however, I felt that it is prone to scratch so I wrapped it before installing it.

one interesting fact... excerpts.
"... with the tire size, 285 35 18... on the way to NYST, speedometer constantly displayed 4 mph higher than GPS (waze on samsung galaxy...
New setup was tested in NYST for the first time. I am still getting used to at the setup but I noticed this setup promoted slight over steer than previous setup. It felt almost as if car wanted to rotate rather than turn around. Quite impressive but I know I need to get used to at this setup...

new setup promoted slight oversteer on corners but predictable. Current goal of my supra set up is, trackable street car.
Toyo R889R is an awesome tire for track but it would be awful for Drag. This tire needs to be warmed up before it yields proper grip. you should get Drag Radial which is constructed different than track use.
