Did a ride drive day on thursday with an hour of semi controlled hooning on the longcross test track in surrey
What a blast
Car performed beautifully except...rear end grip. Rubbish
Its running the hankooks that were on there when i bought it. According to the instructor he did another tuscan that was running avon zz3s all round and it stuck like sh** to the proverbial!

Any advice chaps

(upside was it made dognoughts easy to start, downside it was damned hard to stop it spinning out 360 style in a cloud of smoke smile )

Pete,
That was me with the Avon ZZ3's on my Tuscan at Longcross on Monday.

Glad you enjoyed the day. Longcross really helps you to get some awareness of how your car behaves at the limits.

Hi Nick

Nice to meet you !

Yes, thanks for the feedback on the tyres. I heard you found it nearly impossible to get the back to break out. Sounds like a very different experience to what I had.

What sort of speeds were you hitting round the banked corner ?

Any reason for the Avons ? And how long do they last ?
