    Roll Cage or Suspension ?

    I misunderstood your comment "only driving to and from track" However my opinion on how soft cooksport are still stands I think a good track option at a lower cost than ast and up (and having played with 3 way ohlins few people outside of pro Motorsport need or can set up correctly )...

    Roll Cage or Suspension ?

    No a cost thing at all , it's how soft they are , and honestly nothing about bragging rights or anything . Obviously they are better than some 400 quid coilovers off eBay. Suspension setup is something I have spent years understanding. With all respect if you have driven to a track on them you...

    Track cars

    That goes for any track car ever bought by anyone. The best cars to achieve performance per £ are very light and use tunable engines that have reasonable upgrade costs Usually out of the ford stable in terms of engines. The most raced/tracked car in the world is the lotus 7 so anything...

    Choosing Spring Rates

    It's also affected by rebound and bump settings If not 2 or 3 way adjustable then the internal valving in the damper body needs to match appropriately Body roll is also a consideration , that's affected by anti roll bar stiffness so there is alot to consider. Lotus for example are renowned...

    How well do HP road tyres cope on track?

    Yep rears tend to hold heat in due to lack of airflow as the arches are like a huge wind deflector Caterhams run fairly soft even in race trim so tend to be more pointy at the front Just need to lean on that outside front as you turn in and not get too loud and over rotate ...... Although...

    How well do HP road tyres cope on track?

    Fine but it was warmish , caterhams need pushing on to get heat into tyres so Clio should be fine This time of year it's harder to gain temp due to cold track temps , What suspension setup you on , if fairly standard and soft it will generate heat
