@07CorvetteZ51 since you seem to know about this kind of thing, I estimated the SS 1LE with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires to do a high 1:17 to low 1:18 on this track with this driver. Sounds reasonable?

Assuming that in the test the Camaro SS was using regular Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires, upgrading to the Supercar 3R tires would definitely lower the lap time. I will have to examine some tire tests to be sure, but yeah maybe a 2.5 to 3.0 second drop in lap time is possible. The Supercar 3 is a 220 TW tire and the Supercar 3R is a 100 TW tire, so a big difference in available grip.

Yeah most likely Supercar 3 as thats the default tire, but it’s quite impressive how fast it gets the higher u go up the range, imagine a ZL1 1LE 🤯
