I would not attribute it to the conditions of the surface. Devens AFB is probably one of the best surfaces I had a pleasure AXing on. Plus the time between the last four runs was not more than 5 minutes. So all eyes are on tires. The other Cayman at the event has R-comps on, so I had nothing to compare to.

I just know that the firs 2 runs the car felt like on rails. The fourth run was a disaster. I think the pressure in the backs went up maybe 2 points, but the pressure in the fronts went up by at least 5 points between first and last run in the afternoon.

I would have dismissed it as just bad driving, but the difference in grip was just too drastic.
