1:51

1:51:81 new personal best from my third time at Sonoma Raceway in the F80. (Down from a 1:55!)
It only took three attempts but always knew I could hit 51-52 fairly easy.
My previous outings were cursed and I just couldn't get things going, mainly bad traffic.
This was the last event before the repave.
Definitely have a 49-50 on this setup. Some room for improvement.
Turn 1) Hill had a wet spot all day in the middle of the optimal line. Couldn't push it
Turn 7) Drifted out of corner and lost a couple tenths
Turn 8) Lost some time coming out of the esses
First event trying out a set of Continental Extreme Contact Force tires.
I would say they are on par, if not better than NT01's in terms of pace. Still not the fastest 200tw. Lasted the entire session going ham and never felt greasy. Locked in hot temps to 34psi all around per forums. Perfect rollover.
