You need to stick decent track tyres on Steve. Makes all the difference.
Yeah I will have a go with them one day, it's priorities thought isn't it - and I havea big list of things that require more money than I have. In fact I had an old set of 17"s ready to shoe with track rubber but then I sold my previous Supra and bought this one I now have to run 18"s to fit over my large brakes. A very particular set of 18"s in fact, so that so the offset is still right; TTE made Lexus OEM fitment on the GS300 Sport. I keep an eye on ebay and a set crops up every now and again, but sometimes it's cheaper to buy an old GS300 with them fitted!

I noticed you were hitting 140 mph on the first of the two parts on the outside bowl-couldn't get past 110 in the e30

TBH I didn't like that banked bit at all - I just sat at 90mph waiting for it to go away then booted it. Alex in his white, stripped out NA was foot to the floor all the way round and was geting up to 110mph indicated by the time it straightened but I just didn't like it at all so played it safe & slow. Only on that bit mind

That E30 went well! I used to have an E30 320i with some sort of sport ratio box on it so it'd belt up to 90mph then wimp out of any further acceleration. Lovced that car, possibly the only car I've had that I actually miss. It was good to see yours out on track.

yeah, it would be good to see you guys again and actually get round to swapping passenger rides next time.

Always nice to meet like minded track enthusiasts, especially in Jap cars!
