Bump for Si...

 

Come on guys, this is an excellent day out, extremely well organised and great fun..

You don't have to be expert drivers and its a great excuse to learn some of the handling traits of these cars.

Oh - and I don't think anyone who's already done this can say they didn't enjoy that mile long straight!

Hi all

 

Marham is about 10 miles from where I was brought up so am seriously considering this as a combo with a vist home. Can you add me as a strong maybe for the Sat until I confirm in the next day or so.

 

For those that have been before, how harsh is the track on Tyres & brakes etc? My rears have about 3mm tread left so wondering if I should bite the bullet before or after!

The surface isn't entirely perfect tarmac, but I don't remember it being any worse on wear than a normal track day. Although it'll easily remove that 3mm ! Best to destroy those tyres and then put the new ones on. Don't come with brand new tyres on as they'll need a few miles on them before hand.

 

Maybe Wez or the others can confirm the tyre wear....

The track is a mixture of concrete and a high friction tarmac. Tyres get ruffed up very quickly but they don't seem to wear too bad if your sensible and keep it in a straight line.

 

However, as those that have been before will tell you, it doesn't take long before you'll find yourself pushing hard and getting a bit of sideways action out of the corners and this of course will wear your tyres alot faster depending if you do it on the concrete or tarmac.

 

As a rough idea, I normally use a spare set of rear wheels with part worn goodyear eagle F1's on them ( 2mm to 3mm) by the end of the day they are down to the canvas but I do like to get a bit sideways at times!
