Last year's 16+ heat cycle tires were faster than stickers on my car, which needed a healthy dose of stiff rear bar and 8# more rear pressure. T3 is a compromise corner but you can track all the way out and the car will stick; just use the dirt patch before the curbing as your apex. The oval corner sucks...too flat. Try different lines (in your Miata) coming off the oval. Wasilko was hugging the inside edge and somehow got the car to stick. You've got big balls and good tires if you don't have to lift for the final kink before the hill leading onto the front-straight, which isn't really straight. The patches have WAY more grip than the original pavement so hunt around and put your outside tires on top of it.

Good luck at a slow Audi track day; there aren't any passing zones except for the front straight. Those cars will be understeer-city around the entire track.
