I like clean cars, but it seems mine are never clean. I have a hard time keeping them so. Every time I wash them, God schedules rain immediately. In addition, it is hot and sunny, and I live on a well, so I frequently have a hard time with not leaving water spots on the car.
:whew:
I did not read carefully and thought for a moment there that you HAD a GTD out for an HPDE day . . .
Michelin Cup 2R tires, 140 treadwear. That, and the Trofeo RS on the Dark Horse, 180 treadwear. Ford is not afraid to stick some aggressive, sticky track focused tires on its cars.

This was more than 12 seconds less than the previous record set in 2024, a huge gap on a track of that length.

Maybe they could update the tuning to not let the accelerator open more than a fifth of the way open or something . . .
Great post, but I am surprised that with decades of tracking you did not go for the handling package.
Are you saying that you were in Track Mode but the car was emergency braking without you wanting it to do so?
LOL, I read your posts, but I feel like I need to do a search of your posts and go back to the beginning to get the Basics 101 post before moving on to these more advanced subjects.
