Bit of feedback on the tyres. Ran 2 cars round the ring on V12's this weekend, Both had the same result, no grip issues at all, but the sidewalls are too soft which makes the car shimmy under direction changes. Neither car managed to get the tyres hot after flying laps. No visible wear. On the road they're excellent, especially in the wet.
With brakes, the standard Pagids on the cup (9min30) made no complaint whatsoever and were quite frankly phenominal for an OE replacement pad, and the Brembo pads on my 172 although having sharper initial bite, and never fading didn't feel better than the pagids by any significant margin. Still a very good road pad, but I wish I'd used the Mintex 1155s for track
