Performance Analysis

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R - Official Image

The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R shows a split personality: strong pace and durability on track with occasional standout wet braking, but consistently lags in outright braking and handling versus the best track-day rivals, especially in wet handling and aquaplaning. Its average overall position of 2.7 across three summer tests reflects one win in a Goodyear-only comparison, a mid-pack third in a 2024 GT3 RS track test, and a weak fourth in a demanding 2022 group test.
Overall, the tyre demonstrates good consistency over longer stints and can deliver competitive lap times, yet it repeatedly trails leaders in both dry and wet objective metrics. Wet performance-particularly handling and aquaplaning-emerges as the clearest weakness, while durability/consistency over multiple laps is a relative strength.

Performance Strengths

Consistency and Long-Run Track Performance Moderate Details
• 2022 test: noted still good for another ten laps when rivals were about finished
• 2024 test: Dry Handling Long Run 146.2 s (3/6, +2.6% from best) indicating solid pace retention
Dry Performance (short-run pace within reach) Moderate Details
• 2019 test: 1st in Dry Braking (33 m) and 1st in Dry Handling (91.11 s)
• 2024 test: Overall 3/6; Dry Handling 142.01 s (5/6, +2.2%) but competitive long-run ranking (3/6)
Wet Braking (situational strength) Minor Details
• 2024 test: Wet Braking 28.2 m (1/5)
• 2022 test narrative: Michelin and Goodyear on similar lap time behind leaders, indicating not universally poor wet stopping despite other wet deficits

Performance Weaknesses

Wet Weather Performance (handling and aquaplaning) Strong Details
• 2019 test: Wet Handling 100.95 s (3/3, +13.5%); Straight Aquaplaning 49.49 km/h (3/3, +22.1%)
• 2022 test: Wet Handling 80 km/h (5/6, +8.2%); Wet Braking 61.7 m (5/6, +39.3%)
Dry Braking and Initial Dry Pace vs. Class Leaders Strong Details
• 2022 test: Dry Braking 35.3 m (5/6, +22.6%); Dry Handling 124.6 km/h (5/6, +5.1%)
• 2024 test: Dry Braking 30.5 m (5/6, +13.8%); Dry Handling 142.01 s (5/6, +2.2%)
