Ah nice. Never thought about that. The surface area and its angles would play a big factor.

Agreed. PR days were always like that. It pays to be refreshed and alert before a track day.

Mission is boring now for me. I like the technical nature of it(since my car isn't that powerful) but it's so hard on brakes. I did a bunch of PR days back in '06-'08 and I loved the higher speeds and fast corners. Dying the try the Ridge or even ORP.
