I agree Greg, I'll add driving skill and at what level you are pushing the car. Since you are older and more experienced, I see you as a more patient racer that doesn't abuse the tires. I would think you could get by with an A6 more easily than a 10/10ths guy or one with poor chassis balance. For me, it would be what gives me the best consistency over five, twenty minute sessions.

I'm learning patience Todd...

Your statement about the difference of 10/10ths vs the way I'm running is a major factor. I want more, or as much, grip as I can get - without driving at 10/10ths.

The brake rotor temps are another "tell"... he shoots the temps when I come in so we have a basis to tell us where the brakes are - not only the bias front to rear - but the temp overall. I'm not using a lot of brake - because I'm not pushing the car that hard in to the corner - so the temps are rather "cool" relative to what the pad that was on the car wants to see. That pad wants higher temps to work. Well - I don't drive to that pads characteristics --- so we'll put in a pad that operates where I'm at.

Basically - I think I drive more like a Miata... or maybe a Buick.... IDK LOL
