:) 5 minutes per heat...and yes it was 2-3mm on the front for the whole day.

and the track surface was still new 'bituminous asphalt layer' that must have contributed to the minimal wear..imo:nod:

There you go then . . . learn to use brakes. It might not get you the full half second, but you'd be on the way. :nod:

It is hard to say without seeing your track but TR is correct. If you are using a oneway and not braking at all, then I would say you should be able to make up close to half a second of a lap with using your brakes

Are you sure you only lost 3mm on the tyres after an hour of driving with 37 tyres? That doesn't sound right?:weird:

Well I ran the new servo saver on the weekend. I realy like it.

I ran the highest front roll center and red springs allround and 30wt snake oil. Man did the car turn. Very fast to react and held mid corner speed nicely... washed a bit of speed past mid corner. I think through too much grip.

Switched to 40 shore all round (up from 35's) and the car held corner speed a lot better.

More testing tomorrow...

sparksy, do you have a pic of your track or a schematic of it. Would be interesting to see it just for a mental note. :)

I've seen it all now and I'm after revenge!!! :flaming: :lol: :lol:

Mind you, I nearly went into the fence when we were both on the straight and your 5 port thingy blitzed past my little JP FX 3 port - an impressive amount of power has that 5 port :nod:
