Smiley I'm interested in how long you r888r last

 

Have you been snooping on the dutch forum

 

I don't drive as aggressive as you.

Pads, disks and tyres usually last a full season for me. (6/7 trackdays)

Chris, switch to Kumho V70's. Two track days is pitiful with R888R's. Also, a little tip to make your brakes last longer.....Just don't use them so much & you will also be quicker around the track too!  Was the track moist during your video? your car seemed edgy on the limit. seemed like tyres were struggling, especially near the end.

 

 

Seriously, I forget which pads I have got fitted now, but they've been on for 6+ track days so far. My Kumho's have done 3 track days & looks good for another 2-3 at least. MInd you, you can wear them down to virtually slicks & they still grip reasonably. I'm not sure how many heat cycles they are good for though.

 

Properly quick drive. You've come along well matey.

a LSD yesterday would of really helped getting the power down

Hope you don't mind me saying but that was a bit of a scruffy lap, Clervaux and Sunny in cost you quite a bit of time. I recon you could be easily 2 seconds faster even without an LSD.

 

1:35 should be your goal

I do agree it was a scruffy lap but was the quickest I did all day as I seemed to catch traffic on every lap

[SteveA]

Afraid your always going to have that problem on trackdays now. As soon as you get sub 1:38's at Croft almost every road car will be slower than you. I always get my quickest laps in at the last session of the day when everyone has gone home.

 

Time to start doing test days

As my car is used on the road also max so have to think about MOT etc I did check availability when I bought these Should get away with a other set of rears for this year and think about somthing else for next year Where I will have a other years expierence with the car and sure I will have more confidence and finesse i do feel like after the event as if I was over driving the car but it was greasy Monday

I've got a towing vehicle but it's more than just about the track days for me There's th mapping thing which I will be very busy soon with the water injection Plus it's more of a event driving to and from track days Plus I don't have space for a trailor yet !
