???????????
Well, I guess it's going to be fun my next race.
To go back a little, I have a 2.0l full race Giulia Spider. I was put (against my will) in a class with 911´s (2.7-3.6), Mustangs and 2.5l BRE's. There was really not much I could do but chase those guys on the turns and see them get away on the straights. I managed to get a class change and now they requested I do "something" to be a little more competitive. I did not want to keep spending money so I opted for the Falkens. I was told they are good (as agreed) but not comparable to the R compounds let alone the Hoosiers.
So what I hope to get from my tires is a longer tread life and be able to keep up with the guys who were running 2 seconds slower than I was.........
I did however just ordered a new custom Aluminum radiator to keep the temps down! Here in México we were running on 95°F days and I was having 210°F temps. With the new tires and the new radiator I'm sure I'll be able to keep up and have fun with the other Alfas, MG's etc...
I'll let you all know.
One more question: What tire do you all like the best in the R compound class considering tread life and stickiness.........
Thanks for your replies!
Regards,
