Watkins Glen video - 2014 GT TP
Posted this same thing in the 2011-2014 "general" forum, but I know the audience here is a bit different...
Just got back from a great 2 days at Watkins Glen. Significant driver mod since last year and I was able to knock off about 6 seconds (!) off my previous best time. Still got some soft brake pedal, but the brakes were strong otherwise just had a bit more pedal travel which made heel-toeing hard.
Best lap was 2.17.81, which I am very pleased with. Still on my street tires with 300 treadwear rating. Very ready to get on r-comps or hoosiers....
I seem to be destroying rear brake pads... looks like I need to replace them again after a total of about 325 track miles. Driving harder = braking harder = chewing thru pads quicker...
I'm currently using Pagid RS56 on the rears and I had put 7 track days on them last set, but only got 3 on the latest set. I am driving the car significantly harder, so I know that's part of the "problem" - anyone have good luck with a longer lasting rear pad?
Anyways, here's my quick lap of the 2 day event.
