Thanks again for hosting tonight @Clean Racer

@fastone371 that first race was close until I binned it with 2 laps to go.

My internet went out before I could write in the chat I’m okay with either tire as long as we choose one so I only need 1 setup.

Yes it was, I was watching the gap lap after lap. Then Gentlemanracer was gaining on me the last 5 laps in the 2nd race, I think he went off on the penultimate lap. I wouldnt have lead either if it wasnt for the misfortune of Timlour.
 
In testing the other night. Which tires seemed to have better results?
I liked the RH a little better because of the higher lateral grip and shorter braking distances but the SS were fun as well. The car was a bit more lively on the SS. There was a 6 to 8 second difference in lap time for me but I am average at best and my tune is probably not optimal.
