Silverstone GP circuit tomorrow
Discussion
It cetaqinly turned into a gt3 RS event. Melindi claims all 5 RS's turned up
they cetrainly flew past my 944 but that probably says more about me than the car.
Incidently do people use more tyre pressure in cold coditions. Silverline told me to use 30-32 hot in the frint of my pzeroc's, but my tyres were scrubbed almot an inch down the side wall. The car was understeering horribly on the long sweeping bends

James if you can get them to 32 hot in cold conditions then the pressure is ok. If you are getting scrubbing at the outer edges I would suggest you need more camber to cope with the huge amounts of extra grip that Pzero C's generate.
I have the same problem with edge scrubbing on full slicks but do not want to compromise the wear to the inside edge of my much more expensive road tyres.
What I really need is adjustable camber plates so I can dial in a few degrees more on track, and then set it back to road afterwards

The future is Orange !!
A bit of an odd day. Waiting for the ice to melt on the circuit in the morning and then a very uneven mixture of cars on each of the sessions. Not sure how they were divided up. Ended up sitting behind cars being patient and on best behaviour all day.
Had the pleasure of seeing a few spinners including one of the 996 RS`s as he slipped backwards into the beach at Becketts !!
A lovely circuit to drive though.

Good to see you there Henry though i didn;'t really get a chance to say hello. I still have the 944 following your advice to try proper tyres before trading up to a 968 cs
It was an intereting day - pleased I mananged to keep on the black stuff in the morning, but I wws also frstrated by the split of cars/drivers. I spent all but the final session either stuck behind a snake of slow cars or hearning to roar of some 500 bhp monster thunder up behind me. Goldtrack usually see to get the grouping right or close to it but it seemed random at best last week. I can't help thinking 3 groups might have been better.
I had a few fast laps in a racing tuscan - they really are good value for money if not a littele hairy.
maybe see some of you again next year
