Default Dressed up and ready for track

Dressed up and ready for track

My track front track pads are installed and my Enkei PF01 18x9.5 5x114.3 +45 with Toyo R888 285/30/18 r on the car.
Tomorrow is my first track session for the season.

I had the above fixed on my car since two days and I can tell you right away I really do feel a difference in the handling. The car feels more alive with the new wheels and tires.
The pads bite like crazy.

Will see how the car handle tomorrow at Yas track.

It was thrilling the least to say. Lots of very fast cars getting on your nerve, the track was very busy.

The new wheels with tires transfered the car to a totally new league! I was taking corners at a speed I couldn't dear to before, braking later (softer) and the Toyos kept gripping.

Here are some pictures
