Usually just happens when you go out with super low pressures like 24-25 and they can’t get up to pressure on the out lap.
I am not familiar with those compounds. But I have tried stronger compounds on the rear and softer on the front and it works ok so if you have them can always try them.
i haven't used CSG nor i know anything about it but reading from your post; C11 is more aggressive than CP, this would make the car more rear bias. - explained in my earlier post in this thread. and this set up will suit the way Jackie drive his car and I'd prefer to set up such way for my race car. however, this would be very dangerous on the street. Hence, if you are planning to drive it on the street, go with more traditional set up.
Hi Ryan, if I read your post correctly this is your first track day? First, welcome to your new addiction! Secondly, you might want to have a coach ride with you the first day as you learn the track and get used to your car on track. Its incredibly helpful and confidence inspiring to have a coach help you build confidence and experience. Your first track day is usually a bit nerve racking as you figure it all out and get comfortable. Your pace won't be that quick (it shouldn't be) so the setup won't be that critical. Just start with a suggested tire cold pressure and if you can measure your hot pressures and have a target, do that. If there's a sighting lap or track drive in the morning definitely do that so you're not seeing the turns for the first time on Lap 1 - it helps. Focus on yourself, learning what your car does, using your controls and using your eyes. By the end of Day 1 you'll feel a lot more comfortable.
Luckily my car isn’t my daily, but I do take spirited drives on the streets here and there. I’ll be starting in HPDE 1, so nothing crazy at first. I think I’m going to run this setup just to see what happens.
Glad to hear someone else is running those pads. I'm curious though, how do they feel to you? I was expecting them to be somewhat grabby but they feel very "soft" I guess is the right term. Stopping power is great and I've had the same experience as you in terms of road manners, but I just feel like they don't bite as hard as I expected? I bed them in properly and had them on track twice now ?
You’re going to have a blast!!!! The Supra out of the box 1st track day will be perfect. Any better pad… sure can’t hurt! And typically you go with the same pad or a little less bite in the rear. That’s likely what CSG was referring to. Until you get into all these crazy setups and playing with what you like and driving style.
Flat like zero? Or flat like I am thinking 4-6%
