Would be good to see you both John. Just let me know when you pick a day.

for the Elise V70's, you will find it difficult to get hold of soft compound 48's anyway. Checked out Graeme Bremners after a run a Kames and his V70's were toasty after only 90secs on track, definitely the way ahead. BTW softs on the front mediums on the rear.

Kames is atypical as it is extremely hard on tyres and is somewhat uniquely harsh, both the number of hard corners and the surface . . . most people on things like ACB-10's are overheating in anything like dry conditions in about 2 laps . . . but unless you're loaded you really need to go with one tyre as familiarity is probably more important than ultimate grip . . . I'd agree the V70's are the tyre to use on an Elise . . . and until they ban them the ACB-10/A24 on the caterham type cars . . .

Good thing about V70's ad ACB10's is that you only need one set, they also work in the wet . . . having to carry two sets of wheels and tyres everywhere is a pain in the ass . . .

However they must be more strict with the book now.

Yup

my car will be driven to the events (you can't do a tow bar to an S4) I have a set of wheels with T1r's fitted, my other set has 888's that ain't road legal.

Was planning to go for the Khumohs and a set of Rota Alloys.

Don't want to be driving hundreds of miles on the sticky Tyres when I have T1r's already on wheels.

Anyone been at Ali's recently.. Any idea how my car is getting on.. ?

H John,

I was up there yesterday and your parts had not arrived from Eliseparts yet so may be worth calling them to see where they are? Or a call to Ali would probably clear up any quieries as he'll most likely know better than anyone on here

Catch you soon

Do you work there Mark?

Actually . . . if the milage is not really excessive I think arriving at the event on pre-scrubbed, warmed, de-greased tyres is probably a bonus . . . certainly when I pull the car out of the trailer it's difficult to trust the tyres . . . probably partially psycological, but then so much of this kinda stuff is . . .

I only ask as it is hard for me to get a hold off him from offshore, cant always get time away to make phonecalls through the day..

I spoke to Ali - he is indeed still waiting on the hubs to come back from Eliseparts.

I was thinking about just running on the acb10's to get me to doune/forrestburn - will probably just run 48's at Fintray as I don't think I'll have the same "team" support as last year
