'Range' is open to interpretation.
Best tyre I ever had on my 172 Cup in my opinion was Yokohama's A539. Most despised them with a passion, but I found they soaked up track abuse/heat with no issues, and still gave 12-15k miles. Not as grippy in either wet or dry as PE2s for example, but in my...
Nope, no intended sarcasm...was SRS.
I nigh-on wiped out a brand new set of PE2s at Llandow recently with only half a day of dry running. Never had that issue in my 172 Cup which weighed 250kgs less.
So I'm trying to decide on a tyre that will handle a 1,240 kg car on track without melting...
Not looked at these before...interesting tread pattern...doesn't look like the water will have anywhere to go. Plus side I guess is that the pattern isn't riddled with loads of small blocks that generate heat.
So 1.5 ton FRSs are OK on these...on track?
For someone whose earnings depend upon having a functioning PC at all times your point is relevant. For 99% of the population though, probably not.
LOL
Got ours a week or two ago. Think the main difference apart from the colours/font is that you now get to see more program lines per page...is now 8 and before I think you could only see 6 or 7.
The OE clutch on my 172 Cup saw regular track use and over 120k miles from new without plate wear causing the clutch to fail.
If abused though, I'm sure you could kill one in less than 20k.
With these cars, mileage is only a small factor. Condition, history, and your take on the seller is far...
This is what motivates me on track, not to be fast, but to get the maximum out of the car with minimum effort and wear. For that smoothness is everything and watching Llandow footage with these overlays I realise I'm nowhere near as smooth as I thought I was, or more importantly, as I could be...
The benefits of the datalogger are HUGE, wish I'd done this when I had my 172 Cup.
The 'G'-force trace and throttle bar have made me realise I have some bad habits that need fixing; lack of consistency on the brakes, not managing smoothly enough the transition from braking to steering when...
So true.
I overtook a MP4-12C on the way home tonight, on a 12-plate it was either lost while looking for Goodwood, being run in, or both.
35-45 mph in a NSL 60 mph zone on a sunny day with dry roads and clear visibility is not acceptable, get out of my f***ing way. Grrrr.
What he said ^^^
Your car with a few stonechips on the front, will look exactly one million times better that if you attempt to cover them up with an illfitting gimp suit.
I do, routinely. It's either punch past 3 or 4 dawdlers and creep over the limit while doing so, or sit behind them, on single lane B roads, doing 35-45 mph, for 26 miles?
Nah.
Yup, capturing at 120fps gives you lots of options, but being WVGA only the resolution at that speed isn't that great.
Can also get 720 at 60fps so that'll run at x0.5 without issue, then there's 960 at 48fps as well which should also do x0.5 OK.
