you know, i hate how roadracingworld writes about him kind of, gerloff this gerloff that, and BTW lewis won some stuff too... it's happened each time so far. good job Jake!!
+1 to Brian's comments. Can't wait until his b'day and he can get his driver's license :wink: Way to go and keep it up! You guys are doing an awesome job with him!!!
Brian, last winter we did some comparing of the GP vs. GPA. The GPA was about 1/2 second slower everywhere we ran it, but they are one race tires and dont last anywhere near as long as the GPs which we have run at competitive times after as many as 55 laps and more. No telling what the spec tire will be next year, but when we find out we will use it for all the testing after October.
Jake is scheduled to be interviewed on PitPass radio on July 5th. www.pitpassradio.com Last years interview... http://www.kxno.com/cc-common/media...kxno.com&SITE_ID=726&STATION_ID=KXNO-AM&TRACK
Around 25 laps :shock: The US made slick is is a bit large for a 600 as it is best suited on a 6" rim. The leading WERA HW Endurance team has been using them and very pleased with them. There have been several refinements made to the front since we tried them. Earlier fronts were notorius for tearing, but has since been fixed. They grip very well, but like the rears, just don't last very long. JMO
The 211GP-A was designed as a 1 race tire. Compared to the GP-A it's a bargain IMO Some riders might not see the difference on track and the GP-A might last alot longer for them...I have only Jake to reference.
