More grip

[Pecky]

My mates Sag sticks like poo to a shoe, and although i'm up his chuff on the straight bits, ( mines a 03 cerb 4.2 ), he`s a disappearing orange dot on the twisty stuff. His Sag is standard bar a set of sticky Dunlops. Mines on standard issue Proxys. How grippy can you make a Cerb? There is a huge difference at the moment.

You need to talk to Trackcar for the suspension set up, & Toyo for some 888s

Ss atickies are giving him most of that, but the Sag aero will also do a bit at 80+mph. Wider track will also help, but the major gain is in the tyres...on any car.

There are alternatives to R888s, especially as Andy is flogging his wears, so to speak. So he is maybe a bit bias.

But, as has been said, get the suspension sorted, rebush, decent shocks, sticky tyres and make sure that each corner is pointing in the right direction and you should be ok. As far as I'm aware the Sag' uses, more or less, the same set up as the Cerb' as regards suspension.

Have you considered the fact he may just be a better driver?

What suspension do you currently have? If its of an adjustable type you could try having it setup before your next track day

Follow itsallyellows example then go Tuscan Racer hunting...
