Interesting about tyre wear on the leaders cars, as my Chappy rubber was around 50% worn on all corners, so maybe it was possible to have pushed harder....but I doubt my ability would have matched that ambition.

John's comments regarding ramp and locking are a bit of a mystery to me, so I am going to have to do some homework.  I will have to get my head around what the difference is and how it affects the setup.

I guess that may go someway to explain how you were able to go nearly 2 secs faster in the same car  
some alien probing has been happening in Denmark methinks....
I could only drive any of these cars here with nearly max rear grip, hence my fronts were wearing
faster than the fronts, though not by a lot. Good race, had some robust shoulder banging in lap 1  
then managed to keep CLive behind without blocking ( I hope) he was clearly faster over a lap, but was
mostly faster on the straight(ish) so I was able to watch him fall off now and then trying to get close enough
to whiz past out of the turns.

Tyre wear in the 350 was manageable; rears had wear rates of 13-14 at the end of the race.  Biggest problem was that the rears were wearing roughly twice as fast as the fronts, altering the balance as the race progressed.  Had to compensate for that.

Yes it s here that you win the race, the conditions drive on my car after mid car changed to much fast each laps. The worst point was after Turn4 and passed the Corkscrew.

I choice T70 372 because the rear rotate better than 350. It seems to me that 350 was a little understeering

I spent a lot of time developing my 350 setup for the Bridgehampton race (which all came to naught, thanks to a stupid mistake).  Used it here, with small modifications.  I'm really a setup n00b, but seem to have gotten the 350 just right for my driving style - even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while..

 My son just sold his 70 Pontiac GTO he restored and built up with a much modified drive train (461 cubic inch with 3 speed auto) and it sounded much the same with a 2800 RPM stall speed converter. Ease in to the floor and  just a steady howl, shift, howl some more, shift and soon you were thinking, Ok son  I'm impressed it goes 140 MPH, let's slow her down now!!!!
