This was another Time Trial event in our 2023 BRZ shop car, this time with new 265mm Yokohama A052 tires on our 18x10" wheels - after seeing how far off the pace the 275 Falken RT-660 tires were the weekend before.
This is Time Attack a series run by Apex Driving Academy with but 5 classes, and our car is really prepped for SCCA TT T3 class, and ends up a bit under-prepped for their slowest class Lap Attack 5. The class had 8 cars (most of any at the event) and we finished 3rd, with the top 3 cars all within 6 tenths.
Terry was a bit slow to get his best lap in - not familiar with the 1.7 CW layout here - and waited until the 3rd session to put down his best. The top 2 cars put their best laps in with cooler track temps in earlier sessions. Oh well, better late then never.
Never like losing, but this was still a good comparison - Terry was fully 1 sec behind Tan at the SCCA TT the previous week but only .3 sec here, so the wider 265mm Yokes seem to be a step in the right direction. We have more dedicated track testing coming up on our normal layout (MSR 1.7 CCW) with these new 265 Yokes + the 325mm BBK + the new seats & harnesses. We will do back-to-back testing on the old 255/17x9 Yokohama setup that day as well.
Bigger is better - but compound still matters! Thanks for watching.
