the time would be 8-10 seconds quicker with the dunlops

I cannot understand why DR were happy to use a GT2 on Pilot SPort cups which are a hardcore track tyre (probably the best track road legal tyre you can get) and yet they ran the GTR on the bridgestones...which are really only summer tyres.

Its not rocket science. My GT3 is nearly 3/4 seconds quicker a lap on MPSC tyres than standard road tyres on a 2 minute circuit.

On the ring this will equate to at least 10 seconds.

The problem is that the ring is such difficult place to try to compare times because there are so many factors at play.
