are hard to drive but faster, but nothing that would gain more than half
a second off my time, and I would never be able to drive more than a few
laps without spinning or doing something else to set me back a few
seconds. For example, my PB at Glen is something slightly below 1.06 in
a Ferrari, but with my most comfortable race setup I can do consistent
1.06.50. I tend to use the consistent one all the time now, even for
qualifying (I just need to take out some fuel), as it is far more
enjoyable and predictable.
