Isao loading the @msmachineworks Cayman GT3 after Attack Tsukuba. Phase 2 of this car was built to take advantage of the midship engine layout and show that it can compete with rear wheel drive builds. The entirely new aero package with custom 50mm overs, and 450hp rebuilt engine with Hewland NLT sequential transmission helped propel the Porsche to a 58.708 around TC2000 - about 7 tenths slower than their best. Not bad given the conditions and fairly new setup (first testing at Tsukuba was in mid-January) // I received an overwhelming amount of messages last weekend about what Suzuki was doing with his tires on the FD, and why he was doing it. I didn't have time to answer them all, so I thought I'd explain a little - you can see this a lot in our paddock walk videos on YouTube as it is very common in racing here.  Please subscribe! . Tire shaving is a way to improve the overall performance of tires quickly in a few ways, and it is rather simple in practice.  New, higher treads, tend to have more flex (squirm), and break up the contact patch of the tire. A shaved tire's tread profile will usually result in a slight increase in the width of the tire's contact patch and the shallower tread depths reduce the tire's slip angle, increasing its responsiveness and cornering power by minimizing tread block squirm. This also helps reduce heat buildup and the risk of making the tire fall off by overheating it's tread compound.  For tires that are used, the heat caused the bonding agents in the rubber to harden while it cools; shaving assists in rejuvenating some of the tires performance after this happens. . In Japan, the drivers that tire shave are considered part of the DKC - Denda Kanna Club (電動 カンナ クラブ) The Makita M192/M194 is the most commonly used planar in Japan due to it's wide outlet that prevents clogging from the shaved rubber. Note that he wasn't using a planar in this video as many people have adopted a large spacer and shave the tires using the rotation if the wheel.
