I was going to pass this time but seeing as Dave is now showing his pretty face then I can't miss out.

Buckmore is a fantastic track but they are stingy with the laps for the money you pay. Well they were the last time I was there but that was about 2 years back.
Daytona Milton Keynes is very good and their Sandown Park track isn't too bad either.
Speak for yourself you cornish pixie....;)
I've got a stack of T1R's as spares but Ive never really tried them. I'll let you have them if you want Dave...best cash price?
All you need to remember with any super dooper special tyre is that they won't defy the laws of physics/adhesion. Granted...
R888's are fine on the road, even in the wet (shock horror!) if the fleshy part controlling the car has a brain cell or two. Standing water is their only real weak point......that and stupidity.
If you crash on them in the wet you were driving too fast. No arguments. At all.
Im impressed. It actually looks rather appealing now. When I worked at a Lotus dealer a few years back I PDI'd and prepped a Krypton Green one......ordered from new with Satin black wheels. It looked stunning but the customer obviously got cold feet as we had it back on SOR about a month later!

I'll second that. The dust produced from them at Bedford has pretty much ruined my front 2118's. Granted it probably didn't help me leaving them dirty for 6 days but i needed THINNERS to get the dust off so I now have a pair of...
I run the FK Konigsports on mine. I haven't bothered with an ARB as, for me, I don't really see an obvious benefit.
If it was my sole means of getting around a track then I'd have gone a bit further with it but obviously it isn't!
That said, for a basic track setup it's very good and as Dave...
The comparison between the two was very interesting I must say.
Mine definitely would benefit from having some additional track width and more camber.
Dave and I both prefer a direct front end which both cars have, mine getting better the more i dial the rear shocks up, i had the rear fully...
So....unless you are driving a boggo standard car or a fully blown caged, harnessed, bucket seated track car then you are driving a death trap. Happy days! ;)
