Cleaned ready for Oulton

[PYE21]

Almost ready now!!!!!!

Spent around 5hrs on it today (thats 11hrs in 3 days!!!) getting it ready for Saturday!!!!!!

 

[PYE21]

If anybody mentions anything about tyre gel, im likly to kill them. The tyres are clean enough, im a driver (tyre cleaner makes tyres feel like there on ice!!!!!!!!!!!) 40k in 18months proves that and they ain't getting any cleaner.

 

[Fred@BTM]

cleaning a car before a track day should be outlawed IMO!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

tyre gel + track day = good way to kill yourself

 

[PYE21]

Cleaner = Faster, its an unproven fact!!!!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

try telling that to any rally team!

 

[PYE21]

I have actually cleaned several rally cars the day before they an event, none of them ever finished though!!!!!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

[PYE21]

[Fred@BTM]

tyre gel + track day = good way to kill yourself

Maybe a stupid question but why?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Rubber + Asphalt = good

Rubber + tyre gel (which i think is silicone based) + asphalt = like driving on ice

tyre gel + track day = good way to kill yourself

Maybe a stupid question but why?

Because the tyre gell gets on the sides of the thread of the tyre, so on hard cornering all the cars weight is on the nice slippy tyre gell :race:
