Lurch Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Excellent Track car. I've recently got into Track days and was looking at these as a track car, but found a Peugeot 306 gti-6 for a bargain price I couldn't refuse. Done 3 track days in it now and I just wanna improve things on the car and try and get quicker. It really is an adictive activity and I hope you enjoy it. Alot of people gave me the advise to do a track day in standard form first to get the feel for the car and how it handle as it is more forgiving in standard form, so might be an idea. Have you done track days before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yeh ive done a couple in the supra thats why we got the mr2 so as not to mess my car up. We also got 4 good tyres on one set to sell also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thats why I bought my track car as I didnt want to use the supra. My local track I use isn't very forgiving if you come off, also rips through tyres. Done a set of r888's that had about 3-4mm left in 3 15minute sessions, they cost me £240 (That was super soft compound though ). I'll try the medium compound 888's in the summer to see how long they last... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 lol, I did think that at first, but after discussing it on gti6 forum we think it was due to using super softs which are more for lighter cars I think and the track is really rough and ripped them to shreads. When I used Eagle F1's they lasted well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
