First time at Hallett, very technical course. Engine and suspension fully stock, running on Titan7 TS-5 18x9.5 wheels and 265/35/18 Falken RT615K+ tires. Feel like I could have taken another second or two off if I had another day on the track. 80-85 F ambient temps and no overheating encountered with five 20 minute sessions.
With Hallet and all the tight turns, my traction control was interfering way too much, even in R mode. After I learned the track, I turned it off using the 2 second push method, not the completely off 5 second hold, and I was able to drop my time by 2 seconds.
This was my first track day with the Falkens, and tire pressure is key. I eventually found a good spot with 29 cold in the front and 30 in the back. I'm sure I could have dropped it maybe another PSI. These tires hold up very well, after their first track day there is still a lot of tread left and the tires don't look beat up like the stock contis did after a track day. Traction isn't a huge step above the stock contis, but braking did feel more stable. I will post a more detailed comparison once I get back to Raceway Park of the Midlands since that is the last track I used the stock contis on
