Tires make a difference

Did an autocross today with new tires and what a difference

I put Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's on my Boxster and could not be happier

One of the cars in my class that generally is around 3 seconds faster, was 3 seconds slower that me today. Compared to the rest of the field, I am usually around 15 seconds off the fastest cars that included 991 GT3's and other much more powerful Porsche's. Today, I was just 5 seconds slower!

The only thing I can attribute it to is the change in my tires

My next test will be at the track in late january
