Pics Of 275's All Round For Circuit

I'll drive it in manual mode just because that's how I'm used to it...I'm under no illusions that I'll be setting a good time hahaha!  Fun factor will be off the charts though I expect.

 

Also as you say I'd hate it to drop a gear on me unexpectedly.

Looking forward to my first try at Winton next weekend on November 5th.

 

The track looks really good after the re surface.

 

These Hoosier R7's (grooved slick radial) continue to impress.

Will be the 4th track day on them.

They were expensive but worth it as I have taken good care of them. Initial heat cycling and wrapping after evert track day.

They slide very predictably.

I'll be there supporting some mates getting some times down on Melbourne Cup Day. Good luck! Keen to see how you go.

Why not just use slicks

 

When I tracked bikes it was a no brainer. As long as you went hard enough to keep them up to temp and took it easy on the first lap.

Have been using Porsche cup slicks on and off since 2012. 240 250 270, many different compounds.

To be honest, never liked their unpredictability and squidgy feeling if that makes sense.

Nothing, then everything with too much body roll for my set up.

So sensitive to pressures/camber/heat cycles and generally a big headache in an 1800kg car.

 

Always used slicks when racing my ZX7R back in the mid 90's at Amaroo and Oran Park though.

 

Much prefer the A050's and R7's (depending on event rules) I have been using recently from an enjoyment stand point.

The R7's require high pressures to work well though.

PDF from Hoosier dicates over 40psi hot!!.......... which is very different to any other R-spec/grooved slick I've used.

(Obviously a full slick Carcass requires no where near that pressure, closer to 30psi or under)

R specs I run at 35 psi hot approx. Depending on under steer/oversteer on the day.

1.38.3 for a conservative first visit.

 

Awesome track.

I'll be back chasing a 36 or 37.

Great thread, first time reading through the whole thing. Keep up the fun times racing!

What a ripper time! You have probably posted a mod list before but what do you have right now?

[nelsonian101]

Mod list is in the sig but now have a GTX3576R, E85 on track days. What did you want to know in particular?
