bignum Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Been a while but getting out on track next weekend at Rockingham. Few new bits to play with (including slicks if the sunny weather is back in time). Got 6/7 cars out together all NA power so should be some good fun /QUOTE] Sounds like it should be a good day out buddy, what slicks did you get in the end btcc 265 rear, 245 front, do you need starting pressure info?

bignum Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 No probs, start at 22 psi cold, do a session then check again, your're aiming for 28/29 hot, your front right will get upto temp quicker at rocky due to its nature so keep an eye on that tyre and maybe swap the fronts around at lunch time to maintain even wear.

bignum Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Glad you had a good/dry day mate, how did the tyres hold up, pressures etc and rear wing settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 My tyre gauge decided to drain its battery and so couldnt check them that often but they were pretty hot so probably overinflated by late afternoon. Handling was spot on considering. Need to look at suspension options now as I’ve gone to the limit of the teins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yeah the rears will become difficult to find but the fronts are easier as they are ginetta size. FB has traders on the trackstormers page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
