Yeah the circuits nearly 4 miles long and it was extremley addictive. You were right though I ran spacers all round and my wheels didn't fall off once :laugh:

That experience must have been awesome. I can't wait to get mine in shape to do some track as well. :driver:
How well did your tyres hold all those miles? :surprised:

Yeh it was incredible, one to tick off the bucket list for sure. The tyres were basically new when I started (about 150 miles on them) so 8.5 ish mm of tread. Now have about 7.5mm on the back with 6.5mm on the inside of the back left (probably because of the spin) the surface is pretty f*cked on the rears where I span because i'd already done about 4 really good laps so they were very hot already.
As you can see the rubber has been literally pulled across the surface of the tyre.
The fronts are between 7mm and 6.5mm and the surface is a bit bumpy as well but nowhere near as bad as the backs (I've done about 80 miles since I left the track so they were probably worse)

Some of the nice metal work there
Shoduchi:
Note to self, get tyres just for track days. :laugh:
How are they running on the road now? Are they noisier?
Those are some great machines you saw there! :drool:
