Hello,
Finally finished my 320is rally car, so am very keen to bring it out. So count me in as a newbie...
Also I haven't got any tyres yet (other than road tyres obviously). I am quite happy to do the test day on these road tyres, but I think especially if it is wet, I will jst be all over the place and just holding you guys up ;o)
Anyway has anyone got a set of old rally tyres that need using up, which they could bring along? Obviously I would pay a bit for the tyre wear and tear.
As the BMW tyre discussion is still going, on, I don't want to buy a whole set of tyres just yet, especially as I pretty much emptied my rallying fund on buying helmet, overalls, etc.
See you all next Saturday
Ingo |

Hi Guy's
New to the forum and the Challenge.
I would love to go but any idea what time it starts? I need to be back in Surrey for 4pm so would need to leave about 1pm ish. Also, what surface will it be on?
Thanks

Road tyres will be fine, road cars will be fine too. Its a tarmac track, but 2 corners are pretty abrasive on tyres so keep a eye on thread wear if using your road car. Its a excelent place to burn old tyres off, get them wires hanging out hey Ciro  _________________ "No Gutts, No Glory" RIP "Papa Rivet"
