Had a great day at Oulton Park today with the GTR, weather bril and car performed well.

Unfortunately on one session I left the track and went onto the grass, normally not a problem except there was a large depression in the grass and I hit it doing around 70mph and it has buckled the inner rim of the front wheel.

Does anyone have a spare front rim or wheel they wish to sell?

My wheels are the standard Ultima GTR ones.

Cheers,
Martin.

Ask the factory. The outer rims are relatively cheap!

If you don't go off the track now and again , you are not trying hard enough.
I was trying a bit too hard when I went off on Hollow bend at Gurston Down at 110 mph !!

Next time, I didn't try quite as hard.....

I agree with you Kelvin, you have got to push to find the limits of the car.

Rather annoying though having this depression just off the track, it just causes unnecessary damage.
