I was getting a lot of tire lock under braking and the car generally did not have enough grip on the track. Luckily I was then able to replace the tires with a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on the optional forged &#8220;sport&#8221; wheels for the Evora and hit Laguna with the GGLC once more.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vrw29b-J7iM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the video I was able to pull a 1:48 lap without really maximizing any of the turns. The grippier tires gave me a lot more confidence in the car and I was able to drop 3 seconds off my best from the previous visit. That said I still have several seconds available to me on track if I actually start pushing and should be able to get the Evora down to the 1:45 range pretty easily. <\/p>\n<p>In the not so good section I have to say that while the car ran great at the track I ended up with very bad brake judder when I got home and had to manually sand all four rotors with garnet paper to get them usable again. Apparently this is a known issue with the stock Evora brakes and the official lotus remedy is to sand the brake pads and rotors to remove brake transfer. I have now switched my car to EBC Yellow stuff brakes and hope that it will prevent reoccurrence. <\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE: Switching to the EBC yellow stuffs has fixed the brake judder problem<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my previous post about the Evora S on track I spent a lot of time complaining about the 400 treadwear tires that the car was on.
