Don't worry at it. It's mainly newbie bashing. When you move up to HPDE4/TT, all we get is respect .

Probably won't do TT this year, but I'm not sure what would be a better use of my 5 points to stay in TTC.

Option 1: 235/255 RA1's (+5)
Option 2: 245/275 Ecsta XS, R1R, or Azenis (+4), catback exhaust (+1)
Option 3: 215/255, 235/255 or 255/255 RE01R, Direzza, RE070, etc. (+0), Comptech FSB (+2), Koni's on stock springs (+3)

Any opinions welcome. Ideally, I'd like the FSB and RA1's, but that doesnt fit in the points

If it were my car, I'd order a fresh set of RA1's while they can still be found.

Even by HPDE 2, driver skill begins to dictate who is faster and not as much by horsepower. But I agree, drivers respect drivers. And when a driver is behind the wheel of an S2000, it can be impressive.

Depends how experienced you are.

I'm personally still only a novice to intermediate level on the track, so I would personally do option 3 with direzzas since they're as close to r-comps you'll get to, however if your skilled I would say option 1 as you are actually capable of using the extra grip they'll give you.
