What tyres are you guys running on the track, I've got a set of toyo t1r at the mo on my wheels, but I have a set of pro race 1.2 that I got cheap and was thinking of a set of tyres for the track for them, I've got my 1st proper track day next month, not sure whether to just use what I've got for now
Just messing - but it's what my MK3 has one at moment need to flip them off but for size I need the RSR's come in very pricy
apparently the nankang ns2-r (semi slick, not the normal ones) are very good and a set of 4 in 195/50/15 can be had for about 260
Paul do you have a properly baffled sump? If not you're going to have oil pressure issues if you have lots of grip
Thought it wasn't worth the risk as I've read a few engine fail threads on here due to high speed cornering low oil pressure Paul have a good time
You are right. If you run tyres with high levels of grip ( slicks) and you can drive to match, then on some tracks you can get extreme lateral Gs that will cause your engine oil to climb the sump walls away from the oil pick up tube. In such a case a baffled sump is highly recommended
It's is recommended. But not mandatory. If that was the case no one would be driving on a track without it. There are many people on here with track cars with high grip tyres and just a windage tray with no oil pressure issues. And we're not talking federals either.
Good man. RSR are pretty good track rubber to start off with. Hope you have a great time on your first track day and look forward to seeing you soon!
