Default wet MLR session at combe

seeing as the evos handle so well I was suprised to see some quite steady cornering end in an off.. shit luck at the end.

1:30 brings a warm glow to your soul as a ford lover.

3 door effortlessly dispatches the corner, evo goes at same pace and spins out.


My heart loves that, although my head points out that was probably just tyres

Danny, to be fair its quite hard to adjust to wet track conditions if you havent experienced them before, the drop in grip is just so truely massive if you are on barely treaded tyres that experience is the only thing that can help.
Personally I simply wouldnt be on that track in those conditions if I had only half worn out normal road tyres on, its just pointless, you're never going to make good enough progress so better off saving the petrol and leaving it parked up.

I was there with spiky, picked a nice wet slippery one for my first trackday im my pug. Had toyo t1-r tyres on at first but had no grip at all, put the r888's on and was much better. Spiky was running his full wets as was the black 3 door and both had excellent grip
