No they are ok specialy on 4x4 but once youve driven on slicks then yes theyre shit!!!
Im 2wd with 536 hp at the rear wheels so the 888s dont like it much!!!lol
Then if its wet my wets are awesome infact i couldnt believe it,the 888s in the wet are pants compared to them so theres just no need for them on my car...

It just annoys me that they are starting to do this on trackdays, no different to the way airlines and train pricing annoys me.
They are rewarding their best customers with a discount as those customers are the ones providing the funds needed to allow the company to book other days.
Seems perfectly reasonably to me. Its not a case of the price increasing unreasonably its just a case of it being cheaper for the first people to sign up as a thankyou to them for doing so and getting the ball rolling. The ones who arent first in simply pay the normal price.
