Hey Rick. The tight right hander on the hillclimb looks to be peeling the left rear tyre off the rim.
You are obviously getting bloody good grip.
Thanks for the photos. No one else seems to have put any up.
What pressures are you using front and back? Trade secret??

I hadn't actually looked that closely at the pic. It certainly does look like it was almost off the rim. I'm pretty happy with the Federal RS-RSR's. Rear grip is excellent, I'd like to improve the front and reduce the understeer a bit though...

I finally got around to doing the video from Mallala back in August where i knocked 1.7 seconds off my previous best.

Regarding the tyre pressures. Your hot pressures seem about right.
But maybe there was no heat in them when you attacked the hill.
Lakeside track up here can be very grippy.
I have seen tyres peeled off the rim.
But usually heavier cars.

I was running a cold pressure of 33 psi front and 35 psi rear with my RS-RR's on the advice provided by my suspension guy.

What were the hot pressures then?
Seems like they would be a bit high, but tbh i haven't really got a clue... I just hit the track and hope for the best lol.
Is there anyone on this forum that has any recommendations on tyre pressures for the track?

I ran RSRR at 32 hot on all four. It was ok. I don't think I would go any less.
