vivid memories of watching IMSA, LMP, Can-Am and more on tv.

an obvious question - what specialty suspension setups are required, or what if any adjustments are made to tire compounds is important to address 8 RH turns and 1 LH turn??

I’m honestly the last person that should comment. My best time at Lime Rock was modest 1:03 in my n52 coupe but that car was semi-prepped for TT. I think with proper suspension, tires and pads, I could crack 1:02 in the M coupe. Seats and harness are probably good for another 0.5-1.0. To break 1 min, really need Hoosiers and aero imo. Easiest way to shave time is growing a pair and going WOT on the downhill but really hard in stock trim. Without aero, I find myself tapping the brakes more than average advanced driver on the last turn. That last corner is what separates the boys from the men imo.
