Re: Spa Mon 8th & Tues 9th September 2014
Would there be some place safe to stash a set of wheels at the circuit? I'm thinking of bringing another set with me so I'm not driving home on bald tyres. The current F1s will be 3-4mm.

There are always a few people with garages that I am sure will be more than happy to let keep a set of spare wheels in.stu wrote:Would there be some place safe to stash a set of wheels at the circuit?

Do you reckon the old F1s will last the day? I haven't a clue (as you know!)

The instructor is £300 per day, split over however many people want to share him.
Can you ad your name to the list as to who wants to share one and for one or both days.
1) Paul both days.
2) Glenn Revolution - Monday for an hour late morning please
3) Other Paul (w8pmc) - Anytime that suits you/your instructor Paul? Ideally on the Monday morning to get the full benefit?

All depends on the weather, if it is warm and dry you will be pushing much harder and therefore tyre wear will be higher.
Do what I did and just pray for rain

You"re right, I was there too, must be your smooth driving style that's easy on the tyres.
Maybe a full days tuition is required then Phil?
