New Video.. Link

Last weekend there were two all day trackdays at the Eurospeedway and i finally had the chance to test some semislicks on my Celica. I got a used set of Toyo Proxes R888 and i love them!! I expected more sideforce with those tires, i think 1.9bar (28psi) is too much pressure on semislicks, but they give a very safe feeling. The car is very easy to drive at the limit and starts very late with understeer.
My best time with my street tyres(Potenza RE720) was 2:29,5.. with the R888 i made a 2:25,5. But i definitely need a much bigger and better brake, i killed more then half of a new set brake pads in 5 turns kindasad.gif and my Brembo MAX discs doesn't really look good too ...
The second thing i really start to need is much more power wink.gif, the 7A runs good, better then most people expect, but it sucks if you are 2 times faster in corners than a lot other cars but don't have a chance to overtake them on the straight.. i hate >150hp family cars.. laugh.gif
