I'll bring them along to use on my car and your more than welcome to use them. Need to finish them off so I can get some tyres fitted in the new year to all four rims.

If it is wet then I will just keep the toyo's on all round.

Have to look at my GPS later and see what route it says. Then work out a place to meet to go in convoy.

Interesting Vid John

Noticed Dave losing it a fair few times - but there was a lot of standing water on the track :o

...and top speeds even on the dryish track peaked at 90mph?

But CC is very similar to Croft, with short straights...

...not ed all the old Minis overtaking Dave on their warmdown laps then pulling into the pits :oops:

Oh dear oh dear! Watch it with the sound on and you will hear why I get overtaken! Its called letting people past. Duh! And they were passenger lap cars so only do a couple of laps and then go in. I think there's still the funny bit in there where I overtake one which he wasnt at all happy about.

The top speeds even on a damp track was still 110mph but with no grip on the back end I had to back off nearly everywhere I deemed not safe which was most of the track. Its a brilliant example of why mixing and matching different brand tyres/compound tyres can be dangerous. But i'm glad it was me driving my car instead of someone with less car control skills or it would have been in the wall.
