You can most likely get enough braking torque from the stock caliper to lock up the wheels, aka the maximum braking torque you can use. Even those grippy tires can still be locked up most likely.

They can't focus too much on braking. Brakes alone aren't going to solve their 6 second problem and they can easily eat up 3k in a brake setup. The op is right, pads, better rotors and fresh fluid will be enough for a single lap. This is a sprint not a Marathon

Great series however I have some suggestions. Is there a way you can use a more accurate method of timing the laps. Pressing start and stop on your phone is bound to cause incosistencies due to human error and reaction speed. Another is that it is proabably best to do a run of 3 or so laps and take the average as the result you go by.

I think one of the big advantage of the supercar is the surface contact between the tyres and the road, because they're super wide. There is a reason wide body kits exists and it's not for cosmetics.

But I think the definition of open wheel car is up to subject, as some people argue it should be single seater, or on the contrary some argue a KTM X-Bow is open wheel while it's still contained in the body. And Pog Tuber, the whole point of my com was to get wider rims and wider tyres, and yes I expect it'd have made a lot of difference especially when they're happy with 3s gain with these thin wheels

Aafaik the extra width is to spread the force+heat over more area, allowing the tyres to survive (a bit longer) the abuse of a powerful engine and hard braking. In a single lap a wider wheel might well suffer from being too hard to keep at ideal temps.

Sway bars and strut braces next! No idea what the Subaru aftermarket prices are like or how stiff the chassis is from factory, but for my Volvo you'll have front and rear for €500. Before I installed sway bars I wasn't sure how much difference a thicker squiggly line under my car would make. It makes quite the difference! It doesn't mount the curbs as easily anymore, although that downside is overshadowed by the amount of grip you gain. Adding a strut brace allows you to get the most out of it. My Volvo was pretty flexible from factory, so again, no idea what it does for a Subaru.

2 years ago, I cut my rear tires on bad pavement. I drove a while before I realized something was off. My Maserati has 21 inch wheels and expensive tires. Michelin Pilot Sport 285/30 ZR 21 were over $600 x 2 USD. Messed up a rim, repair $250, oh yeah, tow on flatbed to tire shop $150. Total was too much, but had to be done. Enough rubber on front and rear to keep car from sliding in hard corners. Only way I can 'burn rubber' accelerating is if pavement is wet. Tires, wheels, shocks, brakes, suspension all upgraded to very high performance levels. It will scare me before it reaches it's limit. Would love to take it to track and actually open it up.

A second off a 60 second lap time is nothing to scoff at for _just_ a tire change. I drive on Potenzas in the summer (and on track) and they're great.

You have to pre-heat semi-slicks as they have no grip when cold. With your 1-min lap you should do at least 2 heat laps and only then go for the fast lap. Also pressure needs to be around 3 bar when you finish the fast lap.

Another huge difference will be the amount of abuse the track tires can take vs the others. Sure it's only a bit faster on a lap or two, but I would love to see the numbers after eight or ten laps. I have a feeling the street tires will start adding time a lot faster than the AR1's. Also you're using a AR1, a CRS (CR1) would be a bit quicker as its less of an endurance tire than the AR1's. That means your peak lap time would be lower as the AR1's are more meant for endurance racing.

Something I can't figure out why they haven't done already is to put it on a diet by removing everything you don't need on a track (passenger seats, car interior, radio and speakers, AC, etc). It's basically free, you can even resell some of the parts you remove, you get a better power to weight ratio without even touching the engine, get better braking and handling, just by not carrying unnecessary weight.

in order to get max grip on a tire you have to break the tire in by driving it to get rid of the tires protective coating on the outside of the tire.

You guys should of used the Nankang NS2 R tyres… they are like the AR1’s but more suited to the road, a 50/50 between the Bridgestones and the AR1’s. They are also significantly cheaper than AR1’s with fewer drawbacks

You wil get more out off the semi slicks when you upgrade the car further because you can work the tyre harder before it starts to overheat
