Whoopsy:

Yes the 888R last quite a bit longer than R7 actually. Overall a very good track tire.

You tried Pirelli slicks? How's the difference in tire life? Never tried Dunlops.

Never done much time on Pirelli slicks outside of jumping into someone else's car. Spent enough time on Goodyear, Michelin and Dunlop. I find Dunlop the hardest and longest lasting, but have a feeling of being polished or over-inflated Michelin's the best and the Goodyears I've run tended towards gooiness as opposed to snappy which my father always liked but I was never as much a fan of. 

I could pretty easily get a warm up, qualifying and 3 hour enduro out of a set up Dunlops and still enough left for a day of lapping if I didn't car about times on the lapping day. If I was just lapping I could probably get 3-4 days out of a set. But light cars and no downforce...
