i wouls suspect the tyres had seen better days. I have done the same at the end of the day.

You weren't there Scotty, think it was a HM day.

You have to save all your energy for racing nowadays, but just working on my secret weapon when you are back on trackdays again so that I can show you my exhaust pipes.

So, let me get this right, you pay him for the tuition and then at the end of the session, he gets to spunk £1k worth of your tyres to "enjoy" himself?

Of course not. Thats not exactly standard procedure. If you want him to teach you how to hoon though, he usually has to show you how to do it.

Also, i suspect those were actually T-1R's at approx 300 quid, and they were probably fcuk already and were just getting finished off.

I got him to kill my dead tyres at the end of the day as they were getting replaced.

His car control and ability to keep the wheels spinning was incredible.

So what you're saying is that even the worlds best drivers make the most basic of mistakes and demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of how a car works at 10mph in the damp and completely fail to recover the car in any way other than feebly winding on 1/4 turn of lock and hoping for the best ? . . . ok fair enough . . . good point . . . congratulations are probably in order . . . I'll study that video for hints and tips . . .
