Very, Very, true, I could not get out of track day mode on sunday at all, So could not engage sprinting mode.
Looking back i was taking the centre cones very, very, wide instead of really tight. Crazy thing is, my 1st sprint was this year at N Weald and on my last run i did turn in very tight and slowly but smoothly and away in a straight line to the next cone and turn in tight and away in a straight line and knocked nearly 3 secs off my previous lap.
But still only a bit of fun and really love it all.

Think i will put the Caterham on slicks and see what happens.

Anybody have experience of tyre softening compound, just that i have a few slicks which have stood for around 3 yrs and are as hard as rock, and wonder if that could be brought to life again ?


Very difficult to discipline yourself to purposefully slow down when your brain's in 'must go faster' mode. I can't do it.

Try asking your tyre question in Wheels/tyres/suspension, maybe someone will have experience with rejuvenating slicks. You won't get a sensible answer on here now there are pics up :)
