Aragon 2018 with NL - May 2nd - 4th

[IanBeale]

Hi all,

Booked on this next year with a mate as our first foreign track day and really looking forward to it for 3 days on track.

I'm using Bridgestone R10 tyres which I've been loving since they came out, but might have a set of the new R11s that come out in January to play with.

I've been advised by a tyre shop that I'll need at least another rear whilst I'm out there, but I'm only inters fast so not sure.

Anyone done 3 days at Aragon? How did your tyres last.

Also is it cheaper to buy tyres out in Spain at the track or shall I stock up here in UK.

Any advice appreciated.

Anyone else going?

Aragon is a brilliant track.

Tyre wear is fairly good there, not too abrasive. I would definitely take a spare rear with you or get the tyre support to take one, prepaid.

Thanks Fleegle.

I was wondering about buying there or here.

Was worried the tyre company might see it as an opportunity to make extra cash as, in Spain, captive audience, ramp prices up.

Or is that me being cynical?

Buy it here, either online from someone like FWR and stick it on the stillage or even find out the name of who is supporting the trackday, pay for the tyre here and they take it out there. You will have to pay for fitting. It will work out cheaper than buying it at the track

Cheers mate.

Have fun and keep it real.
