Oulton Park - 18th Nov - LoT

[Shug]

I had a set of T1Rs on my S1 and really didn't like them at all so much so that I sold them after doing about 900 miles on them and fitted Advan Neovas. They seemed to me to kill the steering feel plus they always felt somewhat unsettled when cornering hardish to the point that I wasn't confident leaning on them.

At 900 miles you probably just missed on them coming good. They were never perfect, but at 1000 miles or so, they always seemed to firm up a bit. Not sure if it was tread depth going down or the construction firming up. Felt shyte for the first 1000 miles, always. Never going to be as good as the Neovas though (which were twice the money at the time)

That might explain it. Given how few miles I do in the car I'm not sure I want to wait 1000 miles before they come good each time I change tyres.

Leave it with me for a couple of weekends and the glory of the northwest Highlands will ensure your Toyos are nicely run in, sir!

[/predictable mode]

Actually if funds had allowed I'd probably have had the S1 Advan Neova size on UJI for years by now but Toyos at barely £200 a set were just an eye-watering steal. OK we can move on now, nothing else to see here!

GT3 is coming to Oulton once LOT have sorted why their systems keep kicking me out

As far as the wife is concerned this is a "business trip" - well the day before will be anyway!

Look forward to the antics

Look forward to that Andy, as long as you turn off your TC if it is wet.

If you renounce all previous (track) sins and promise to be a good boy hereverafter that might help

I could be very tempted to give this a go - or just come down for the banter.....

Dom - get yourself booked in if you havent been before - you will then spend the week after telling me that the advice was better than the advice you usually give me

[campbell]

Dom, going even just for banter is well worth it. I did this several years ago...in fact I can hardly believe it but this was in 2003...

[Andy G]

finally got my LOT prob sorted and booked on - might even do it in a Lotus if I can pull off miracles!

The Honda Elise needs to get started

[Andy G]

already excited about this one post AMP3 TD.

Are we dinning somewhere on the Thursday? Will plan my business trip accordingly

[tut]

Previously we have gone to the Indian in Northwich, God's own Town.

I want to do this tooooooooooooo!

[robin]

My plan is to go to the Chesire Tandoori in Northwich.

If we know numbers we could book a table, though to be honest I doubt they will be that busy on a Thursday.

Cheers,
Robin
