too much rear brake bias, R888's with 1.6mm tread (they do work), partly flooded track in places and dampers still on the settings we were using in the dry.
Great fun tbh. Some of the slides were on purpose ;)
The afternoon was great for us, there was an option to do the full day and there were so many cars there but I think they had all had enough or run out of tyres/fuel/brakes coz the circuit was fairly empty. loads of people went home around 3:30-4pm

I was thinking of relocating them altogether to the dash somewhere

Me and Tony had the first track outing of the year today and it was great. Some things to sort out tho.
Too much rear brake bias (Caused a few hairy moments, especialy in the wet, vids to follow) Even on its minimum setting.
Front pads only just up to the job (Greenstuff) they were stinking...
