OK another question :roll:

Having never done this drifting thingy, intentionally that is, what are the most suitable tyres to use? I'm working on the premise that the track will be wet and slippery :twisted: and don't want to wreck any tyres [-o< I have a choice of treaded road tyres, 888s or rally slicks.

I'll tell him you told me to !!!!

Oh and a big thanks to you and Ben for coming over, saying hello and keeping us all company in the pits yesterday. Its nice to get support and alot of people were very pleased and supportive of what happened on track. Ity means alot.

I still dont know where I finished yet, but I am sooooooooooooooo hoping its a single number - I expect at this point I will have got it wrong and I'll be 11th !!!

Normal road tyres will be ideal, they have a lower grip level for a novice, they wont aquaplane if its raining or when the track is watered and should be more progressive. Maybe start with higher than normal pressures - say 40psi to begin with and if thats too slippery in the conditions then you can always lower them towards what the car would normally run.

OK thanks, I was thinking slipperyer the better so 888s or slicks ,on standing water, would be ideal. Wrong again :roll:

Last Q, honest

Will Tyrells be open for food?

I'll be using std road tyres Gerry. ( i would bring a spare or two just in case of a problem though)
