Don't go timing your laps :innocent: *mumbles sub 8'15" b to g for me!* :laugh:

if you want to lend me your camera and mount I will gladly video my laps.....not that they will be any good mate.
Now its getting close to the trip I really wish I had taken some instructor training. I would really love to learn track driving. (cornering and braking etc)
Is there any sort of training available at the Ring? :driver:

Always put deeper treads on the rear axle on our FWD Golfs. I had to have a pair of new tyres just before our recent 'Ring trackday. The drive there will settle them in. No tyre probs experienced by me.
Ideally for track you want tyres which are worn a fair bit with less tread than new, assuming they are road tyres.

....Being FWD there's a logic in putting your deeper tread tyres on the front drive wheels, but the grip is needed on the rear to help stop it overtaking you! When your front tyres get used up, you can move the rears to the front and then put some new ones on the rear.
