Could you not use the 5.5 f/ford fronts? Thats what I'll be doing with the 13x6's I have.

They are just 13x6's. I've been in the hunt for some 13x7's for a while now.

The tyres bulge a bit on the rim which makes it squirm a bit when cornering on the limit.

Love the videos, looks like great fun dave, Good on you!

What width 13" wheels are you using?

Thrashed out 7 inch AVONS. The ones off the rear of a formula ford. They are great when they get a little heat in them but in a 40 second pass they just don't get hot enough.

I'm due for a new set, well new used

man it looks like fun! i gotta get my mobile going again and join you out there, next deca maybe?

pretty cool putting that vid together to make it look like a full run. Your car looked pretty good on the track too. Can see what you mean about the braking areas - some of them look very tricky, and looks like a fun little track. What tyres were you on?

Daveman yes it ia a clubman 150HP 480Kgs. Hey you did great for your first time. A lot of people look at the track and think it's easy, but that's not so. It is very technical and can bite you bad, the track surface has gone off an it's slippery as you have found. My best is a 34.5 but I was beaten that day by a 32.8, dame thats quick. Hope to see you there again.

35.3? My best was a 40.04

Was that in a 1200 or as your name suggests in a clubman?

I won't feel so bad if it was a clubman.

I don't reckon I drove one pass out of about 8 with correct lines on all corners so I definitely could have gone faster but I found it quite technical compared to something like a longer race track.

Daveman good work, I was there a couple of weeks ago and did a 35.3 with my A15. I takes some learning that track and there are particular line to make it work.

The embarrassing this about that gemini was that it was almost stock power wise with some suspension mods and I was only 1.7 seconds faster than it over a 40 second pass!
