Tough to beat a budget friendly, lightweight RWD platform. In the past we had a great 2015 Subaru BRZ that we used as a track car with wonderful results. Recently I purchased a new 2025 BRZ tS to be used in a similar fashion. I specifically wanted the BRZ tS as it comes equipped with Factory Brembo Brakes and I like the blue contrast stitching on the inside. After about 1k street miles it is time to prep it for its first track outing. This is going to be a long term, slow progression project. It could also be considered...

I am headed up to Road Atlanta this weekend for some HPDE fun with Chin Track Days. The weather on Saturday is looking rough with rain.

Mounted up a fresh set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 tires. These are a 340 tread wear performance summer tire that are excellent in wet conditions. We will use these as a dual duty street tire for the...

Sebring is about 2.5 hours from IPGparts headquarters. It is what I consider our home track. We have turned thousands of laps at the place at this point in all sorts of cars. Over the last 6 months we had the chance to run both a stock ('ish) 1998 Acura Integra Type R and our race prepped 2001 Acura Integra Type R. The lap time delta is nothing short of astonishing.  Your gut is always going to tell you how and why the lap time would be considerably different but to actual see the black and white data of it...
