Thats a shame but I enjoyed your video - just how soft are those front tyres - they are obviously pretty sticky as you are pushing on a bit but they were graining and shedding rubber from the second corner onwards- not criticism just interested observation.

They are soft enough to leave a thumb print in and are sticky to the touch.
pretty much as soft as they come.

I didnt bother cleaning off the marbled rubber from the previous run as everyone was setting slower times, thats what you can see gathering up and flying off the tyres.
And yes causing me to understeer and miss apexes
:lol:

Interesting - I remember an earlier picture of the car with the tyres wrapped in shrink wrap - now I know why. Do compete only locally or do you go further afield? I wouldn't mind having a closer look at the car and seeing it run :thumleft:

This so much makes me want to do some kind of motorsport properly - Let me know when you're competing in Summerset and I will pop down from Wiltshire.
The course looked really slick - good bit of car control there.
