My fronts are a little low on tread so the Big question is, do I:

1. Get new tyres today. :-k
2. Swap fronts with rears and enjoy the oversteer. :shock:
3. Leave it, get fresh tyres after the track day and understeer through all the corners. :lol:

If it wasn't going to be p1$$ing with rain I'd happily leave it all as is.

I went for new tyres on the front last week....I would like maximum grip considering the forecast!
I spoke to MSV earlier and asked if it was likely that the day would be canned if it was torrential. He said the decision would be taken locally by the organiers/marshalls.

Looking at the forecast its going to be grim. :mad:

Here's a short clip edited from around 35 minutes of footage i got. Couple of the lardy BMW's struggling for grip, and I think it was the M3 that spun at Graham Hill bend.

Figures! It does not surprise me! Was like a total family outing for them! Can imagine them all running onto the track when it happened!
