The wider 18"s will be good fun, but the tyres aint cheap, so I'd say might as well take the 16's.... but if you're not gonna be flooring her round the track, just lighting up a cigar and cruising it round?, then bring the 18"s

I am going (can't wait!).

BTW, is there any other tall Cerb owners that has problems to drive with the helmet on? I think my helmet will press against the roof .

Do you decline the seat until there is enough clearance?

My helmet's touching the roof when driving but doesn't cause too much of a problem, you do find you adopt a bit of a hunch.

This is going to be your first track day, isn't it? That means you have driven the Cerb on public roads with the helmet on?

There's bragging and then there's just downright lying You deserve a hunch if you can touch the ceiling with your helmet

Don't know any of the names on that list, so thought i'd find out the PH names instead.

It means there are two drivers sharing the track time.

That was a major reason for me going to CREAM. I just love to take the Cerb round the track. I'm defo not the fastest, but I enjoy taking the car to my limits!
and to be around other Cerbs on the day - excellent!

I'm a short 5'11" and you can put a tissue between my helmet & roof!

Just to remind everyone, the track company advise this for C.R.E.A.M.

"Crash helmet must meet the MSA standard or higher. ie BS6658 Type A or AFR .
Blue or red sticker NOT Green.(Some may be available for hire on a first come first served basis.)"

This also applies to the High Speed Run Session!

You cheeky bugger, this will be my second track day in the Cerb' :P

Even I'm not sad enough to drive around with my helmet on full public view.
