Touring Car Personal Best

May 3, 2009 · Posted in Racing, Touring Cars · by simon  

A great day racing today. Just a normal club meet at SHMCC Bashley.

I got the car going well, and got a personal best with 17.5, which is always nice.

The interesting thing of the day for me was ditching Sorex 28s. I’ve been finding they just don’t last, I think they’ve changed from last years 28s. I put on Sorex 32s and they were so much better, more stable, and they looked as good at the end of 4 runs as at the beginning.

It’s the sidewalls that knacker up on the 28s, they flex more and deteriorate, but on the 32s they don’t do that in the same way, or at least not as quickly.

I think I’ll stick to 32s for a while, maybe 28s if it’s a cooler day.

    Yeh I ruined a set of 28′s that day in 13.5. All seven runs and they dont look to good now, I have acquired some used but still usuable 32′s to try this weekend!

    ps keep up the great blog. I may even have to sign up :)

    Took your advice last Sunday. Went ouit on 28′s for first qualy and set a reasonable 18 lapper (18.301) changed to the 32′s and ran them for the rest of the day setting 4 19 lappers and improved my PB twice (19.310). The car felt so much better on the 32′s.
