What are your expeirences running at Carolina Motorsports Park. I want to know about track day, not as much HC.

 

It's tough on brakes, but pretty easy on tires. Since you have some track experience, I would not run stock fluid or pads. Beyond that, stay off the hump at the apex of the kink (T10), as it will upset the car. Make sure to check your oil level after every session, and don't start a session with less than 5 bars of gas.

 

Bryan, I shot you a pm the other day. What pads do you suggest? Hope all is well.

I've always run Carbotech Panther + pads, because Carbotech is about an hour away from me. Others have had good things to say about the Cobalt Spec VR/VX combo.

 

Since this track is supposed to be "tough on brakes":

I used to run the Panther+ (XP6) pads, but lately I've found myself over-temping them. I'm looking at a bunch of other, higher temp pads.

If Carbotech is convenient to you, that still doesn't necessarily mean P+. They have higher temp formulations.

 

True -- I should quantify that. P+'s have worked fine for me there. From the perspective of the folks that want to run stock/street pads, it's tough on brakes. A decent track pad will have no problems. Although I do have cooling ducts on the fronts, they are a relatively recent addition.

 

Does anyone have any video of an S2000 on CMP?

 

I would also recommend ducting to the front brakes as a minimum. I ran the Cobalt pads there last month with front and rear cooling and worked the brakes all day with no hint of fade. Look at my photo album for pics of my ducting. CMP is a great place to go with excellent people running the event. PM me with any other questions. I'll be glad to help. I also have video but have no idea how to post. If anyone can help me with that I would be happy to share.

 

Anyone doing a day at CMP soon. I am wanting to go again. I did 2 days there last year, one in the Evo , one in the M3. I really want to get the S on track.

 

NASA MidA will be there May 6-7 and I am contemplating making the trip though it is 10-11 hours for me. If I make it I will race HC with the S. They will have HPDE 1,2,3,4 depending on your experience.
