Hi guys. Greetings from Malta.
Someone asked about the Orion tyre. My experience is that it has good grip when new, but deteriorates fast and wears even faster.
I went down to the track yesterday evening. The weather was a bit cooler than usual and all three cars seemed just glued.
I ran my stock MR4 SP on Sorex 28s with their own A medium inserts, and it was absolutely neutral - you just couldn't loose it!
I then ran my mod MR4 SP. This one is presently on Pits D30s with the same Sorex insert, and that too was far better than it has been in a long time. I was beating guys that I usually find it hard to stay with.
My son also ran his TC3 (Sorex 28 and A medium inserts) and that seemed glued too. In fact he brought his lap time down by over half a second from what he was doing last week, with the same motor, cells, etc.
Could have been the track though. Shame it isn't always like that!
Regards
Joe from sunny Malta.
