Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray, 2014
Look at the power curves. Around the 5,900 rev point, the engine changes its tone very distinctly. You can easily change gears just by listening to the sound of the engine. These gears will help you manage wheelspin and fuel usage. There is lots of grip with hard tires.
BTW, this is not a light sports car and its brakes suck, so find your braking points.
Edit: use Sport Mediums as the base tire. Hards were just a bit too close to the edge between struggling and fun.
