Default I just got back from testing Michelin Pilot Super Sports at PBIR

I was forced to test Monday and Tuesday.
Here are a few of the drivers I was coached (forced to go faster) by in a LEXUS IS F

Roland Linder
Didier Theys
Tania Bourbonnais
Ed (got get the spelling right)

I was both a passenger & Driver.
A little info on the car:

416HP/371TQ Eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic transmission with paddle shifters, Manual mode and torque converter lock-up clutch for gears 2-8
3,780lbs

Roland & I went out and flogged it hard both days............
