I think val is running them on his m3 racecar

No 16" and I'm in the market for a 140-200 tread wear tire.

[Bimmerman325i]

So the TD is $70 more per tire over the NT01 in the 255/40/17 size......


Narrrrp. I'd go NT01 if an R comp is your thing (TD is 80 treadwear R comp too), but I'm trying to be patient and wait for the GRM tire test of the Rivals, RE-11As, and Z2s.

Though I might just try the Rivals anyway, they're purported to be a super-RS3.

Fast lap, 1:50.9

So damn fun I know I left quite a few seconds on the table between inexperience with the track and very tired tires, but I had fun regardless.

I wanna go back.

Whats with the Lotuses going so slow? Do the drivers just suck?

Awesome track. I'm jealous!

[Eric]

loti or lotuses?

[clarkkey594]

loti or lotuses?

Loti, assuming that lotus is a second declension, masculine noun in Latin.

[Roland H]

is it similar to moose and therefore just lotus for singular or plural?

[clarkkey594]

Apparently it's actually Hindi so the plural would be Lota....or so I think.

^^^ WUGS allomorph /z/ of the plural morpheme

Lotuses is the correct form.

I guess so. There were a few fast ones (Including one 2-eleven !!) since it was a lotus club day, but hooooly shit were there a lot of slow fast cars. Also lots of incidents...making me rethink the truck vs 335d idea.

I had soooo much fun. Really want to see what I can do with fresh tires and a days' worth of experience. Maybe hit mid 1:4x? I dunno.

The DTC-70s are freaking amazing though.

[Eric]

I was 3 seconds faster at HPR on /25/50/16 RS3s vs. 235/35/18 conti DWs.

That looked like a very ballsy stab at the corkscrew! Haha!
