Clive....see what i mean....follow the first lap....if these tyres are staying theyve ruined combe for me!!! seems a dangerous place to put them for a trackday

I had a look and would say they are only out there for track days and maybe it was just a trial.

Wow this made me remember back a few years to an event where we were confronted with some "trial" tyres to keep us off the kerbs where there were none previously! ,

After winning the first two races I actually fell foul of the damn things when I clipped one while leading the third race and broke my steering.

Could have been worse though, as I found out later that a guy in a Capri clipped them and broke his thumb. :(

If the 2nd set of tyres are there when im on track ill have to slow it down through the chicanes as im always right on the limit there...2 best bits of the circuits imo.

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.
