Yeah, any heavy barge will chew tyres - after the p1 photo my NSF looked like this (after only ~15 mins!)
It was bang on to start with though, thought of it as a final hurrah for the fronts, ~3mm was also taken off the rear tread, mainly though aiding turn-in given the above and clockwise circuit....

I've got a spare set of wheels and tyres, so I can get those fitted as soon as I get the car home!

Just booked onto 10.10 session, was still places for all slots when I called this afternoon. (Not sure why they don't do online booking).
Normally they do. I asked why it's not available online, and was told it was to ensure only PHers signup for the sessions. Presumably their website is not setup to restrict specific events to specific promotion codes. SpudLink said:

Anyone know how strict they are likely to be on the "4mm Tread" Rule... My fronts are at 3mm and I really don't want to put fresh tyres on that I'm going to destroy on a 30 minute track session 
As per the above, my fronts were on 1.6mm when I started the session - never got mentionedkiethton said:

Hmmmm...I might risk it turning up with my current tyres.I'm going to be fitting 4 new tyres after the session anyway.
So don't really want to buy new tyres just for 30 minutes of driving. I can understand them wanting at least 4mm if you're going to be doing an all day session.

Where did you see that rule?Michelin PS Cup tyres and other similar semi-slicks only come with 4mm from new...

T&C's / Driver Information
Personally I think an emptier track is a good thing. Also, I believe it being Mothers day has stopped a few people coming!
I'll be there with my Camera most of the morning after I've done my track time, so will try to get a few more "On Track" photos as a lot of people wanted them last time. If anyones there with their camera early in the morning, would love some of mine (Red GT86, J88SNN on the plate).
Yeah, I was told there were T's and C's didn't realise they had a minimum Tread! Probably just to cover their backs if you have a big off and damage the property?
