It is… 3 sets of rear pads for 1 set of front + discs maybe. I do track on MDM most of the time tough.
I went though 1 set of Pirellis and will soon need to replace the Nittos as well… |
Likewise, I'm not willing to put 100K into the wall for 1 second on my lap time. MDM is my track insurance. I watched an M3 fly right off the track behind me. Was incredibly happy to find out he kept it out of the wall, but I'm sure he was shitting himself as 80K+ moved towards that wall.
I will have to experiment with some better pads and tires. Admittedly I enjoy using the M2 at HPDEs a little more.
Have you had a chance to find the tire sweet spot (in regards to tire brand/model).
