Pete, considering your climate and budget I'm curious as to what tires are you running?

Yes its usually damp or cold and damp so i have some federal road tyres which are ok for the performance level i have . With something like a r888 you need to get them warmed up before letting loose because generally the temperature is below 15 deg for half the year and only hits 25 deg sometimes during the summer . I have seen cars hit the armco on their first lap for not warming their tyres first , yes sometimes we despair at our weather . I was advised to try with road tyres first as 60's suspension wouldn't be able to deal with grippy track tyres , and to learn about lines and braking points first .I have also been trying different castor and camber settings etc so trackday tyres would have been wasted on me . Next year iam going to try some federal 595's on bigger rims to see how i get on . Pete

I appreciate the compliment Pete. Old School Soldiers like us have to give these other guys a handicap and let them have their aftermarket frames otherwise it just wouldn't be fair.

Thats a nice looking car you have there Mike , have you done a build thread or have anymore pictures of it . Is Zandvoort the one thats near the sand dunes i remember seeing it on the TV and also Assen . Some of the trackday companies here do trips to Spa in Belgium but i haven't seen any to Zandvoort even though its closer to the UK . Pete
