yeah man i never meant this would beat the 296 on the trofeo r tyres, but i dont think it should be 1.3 seconds behind on a track like this either

How could it not? At PCOTY, the format is simple. I get an out lap, two fliers, and an in lap. In this oppressive three-digit heat, the first lap is usually the best. So, while the resulting laps are representative, it’s not about running multiple lap sessions to get the perfect, untouchable qualifying time. They’re more useful to draw a picture of how exploitable the cars are without the luxury of many laps and an endless supply of new rubber. And, logically, we start from the slowest car and work upward. Which means I begin in the Mazda MX-5 Miata Club. Like I said, a very good start.
based on this, its AT LEAST 100 deg fahrenheit so thats like 37 deg c and it could be even more
