Nice Video Gav and well driven.

So if Cup2 are 2 seconds quicker than Cup+ maybe cup1 are 2 seconds quicker than Cup2.

Looks like they allow plenty of fun.

Actually WTF do I know, gone for slicks.

You talking about the pork wheels?

If so it's hard to compare to e46, 888 on e46 were crap, but they worked great with the 3ft wide rear tyre on the 996 gt3 sticky had

Yeah on pork so not to compare too directly and take things into account like chassis/suspension. Reckon that's how most would find them on e46 so would be reasonable if you were ok leaving the last 0.1s on the table in exchange for better wet. Don't know but think they'd last ok. Did Spa/Zolder and it was hot. As I said be real interesting same day comparison.

It would be good if knoxville would tell us his laptimes with cup and cup 2.

I smashed stickys gt3 around Anglesey on 888 and gripped stayed. On e46 they go like mush after 2 laps. Just purely down to car design and weight distribution

Off topic, you still loving the beastie ?

**alexk** · 15-11-2015, 11:21 PM

Does anyone have any laptimes / comparison yet ?

**shimmy** · 16-11-2015, 12:53 AM

No but by Spa Time next year we should get some Cup2 and Dunlops between us and do back to back tests

Do not bother with cup 2, I went out in grants caged m3 at snetterton
Yesterday after going in johns m3 on original cups.

Unless you like going sideways the cup2 grip just isn't there after a few laps.

He was losing the back end round riches, bomb hole and coram.

I'd say, better than a road tyre but way off original cups if you want to push the car.

If your after lap times your need dunlops or try to see if the new pirellis are any good. I know Lawsy is trying these in a couple or weeks.
