Steve Sherwood Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yes it was us, Adam driving. The track was very slippy he could not get the power down in 1st and 2nd. The best we could do was 12.8 @ 125 mph. We fitted some second hand potenza SO2s to the rear they did not have anything like the grip of the SO2As that we run on the road. On the road we can usually put the power down in second. Nevertheless we do need to do a lot of work on low speed traction control. We now have spare set of 18 x 10.5 rims so we can try some more grippy tyre options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sherwood Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks rich, we are looking at tyre options now. We want the tyres that will give the best results at Elvington. The MR2 turbos were running Toyo R888s and went very well 11.2 I think very good considering the surface condition. We dont have any traction control so looking at using AEM program or Race Lodgic system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Only the gold one had R888s on, the black car that did the 11.2 is running ET Streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
