Track day tyres setup

Hi. I think I would like to know why the decision to mount the cup2

 

I run with federal 595. Size 225/40/18 front and 235/40/18 back.

After many trackdays, and in my suspension settings (cup), I think it's ideal. Depending on the circuit it is good to use toyo r888r or AR1 on the front axle in size 235 and then use 595 in measure 225 in the back, in this way I try to place the car in the corners, especially in slow circuits. but most have fast curves that if you don't have back support you can have a problem

 

I dont think the Feds with their unique pattern will be that happy with cup2 more standard tread pattern

Had this before when mixing Feds with goodyear F3 car felt bit funny in straight line

 

I run 255" front and 225" rear

 

It's good for 7.30 at the ring so i think its a pretty good setup

 

I run 255 35 18 595 rsr's all round, think i'm running 3deg front 1.5 on the rear, on BC coilovers 10kg all round.

Standard engine ATM

 

Get 4 of the same tires and get the wider tire at the front.

 

I’ve not seen people run wider tyres on the front before

 

Lift off oversteer is great fun

 

A bit like braking and steering into a corner yes

 

255 on a standard wheel though ??

 

Ha ha ha my mk2 was a lot easier than the mk3, but still worth trying

 

No, i have upgraded to 8.5j wheels, right on the limit

 

So same size but 888r front Michelin PS4 rear would have the same effect

 

Slicks on the front and Federal 595's on the rear was a giggle

 

I’ll try it with the PS4 but maybe leave it till I get back from spa

 

when are you at Spa ???

 

First weekend in may

 

I'm there again in November, the Ring in April
Did Spa 3 times last year and 5 times the year before that

 

with RSR ???
Fuck that expensive

 

I'd love to do Spa this year!

Who do you book yours with Ian?

 

There's a double day 9th and 10th November with Opentrack, not booked it yet, although i have booked the accommodation

 

£475 for both days seems pretty good value!

Looking at selling my house at the end of the summer so depending on how that pans out, I may even give it a go myself!

 

A few

See you there, a few go us going as well.

 

Ahhh bloody hell might have a look then

 

Is that with RSR ????

Hi Ian,I don't know who its with, Matin has set it all up.

 

Here you go Ian, we've booked Radisson blu balmoral, doing both dasys

TC LTD days at Spa Francorchamps Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th of May 2020


Dear Martin,


After 14 successful editions at Spa Francorchamps, here comes the 15th edition for 2020.


This year the event will happen on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th of May 2020. That’s right, since 2015, a double whammy for this edition again!

2 days of solid fun!


Same format as last year; open pit lane, free professional instruction, tyre support and trackside photography. We're also aiming to be able to offer paddock support so niggly little problems won't stop you enjoying the day.


Following an increase in the track rental fee, we had to slightly adjust our own pricing.


The price for 1 day (Monday or Tuesday) is only £415.00.


The price for both days (Monday and Tuesday combo) is only £789.00. Yes this is already a 5% discount no matter what!


Please book as soon as possible by sending me an email (spa@destexhe.com) as this is a popular event! To avoid any pitlane delays we are limiting the number of cars to the same level as last year, so places are limited!


As usual, we are offering a group discount of 5% for bookings of 5 or more full places at this Spa trackday (not "additional" drivers nor passengers nor garages …).


e.g. Monday or Tuesday only (5%): £395.00.


e.g. Monday and Tuesday (5% + 5% = 10%): £747.00.


IF YOU ARE PLANNING A GROUP BOOKING YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME BEFORE THE GROUP IS COMPLETE TO LET ME KNOW YOU ARE WORKING ON A GROUP BOOKING SO THAT WE CAN AT LEAST PRE-BOOK SOME SPACES FOR YOUR GROUP.


Additional charges (per day):


Garages: £220.00, Maximum 4 cars allowed (this is one F1 garage door), pre booking is possible for people who already fully paid their day. Contact Greg on spa@destexhe.com.

 

That’s with Greg. 3 of us with meganes are booked for the Monday

We are going to the ring first. When are you travelling?

It is a little over, but have a look on here

Probably better off with some better quality tyres at the standard size. I’m running 225/40 R888r
