Nice going until then - lots of corrections, you kept it just right - it was almost as if you thought that corner might be tighter and longer than it was. Anyway, great clip - shows how difficult those events are, like Monaco but with mud at all the corners!
Regarding tires, I have tried a bit different tires on my '84 Reynard FF2000.
I found out that Dunlop Clubman tires are highly recommendable. I can drive 14-15 heats on a set before they are worn, and they are almost just as fast worn, as they are new.
Best of all: They almost doesn't need any heat to generate grip, and they are really easy to drive.
There are different shores available. I think its the 894 I use - its the hardest available.
Thanks for this Mr Fox. (Reynard.... get it???) We've been using AVON sprint compound which is usually very good but the ones at Croft were at the end of their useful life. I'll take a look at the Dunlops.... they might be cheaper!!!
i thought it was a FF2000 but i didt want to say so incase it was one of those purpose built hill/sprint single seater chassis. Looks like its set up well , i watched another clip at Kirkistown sprint.What sort of money is the car standing you? and have you ever done the scarey calculation of cost per meeting?
All things are relative I suppose but the car is not expensive to run provided you don't knock any corners off and don't take things too competitively. We get one season from rear tyres and two seasons from the fronts. Many competitors will use three or four sets a year to get that extra 100th of a second but we do it for the craic, not the glory. Peter and I bought the car in 1995 for a couple of grand. Biggest expense was moving from Pinto to Zetec but reliability was worth it.
thanks for your response. That´s real budget motorsport then, very inexpensive compred to racing. And you´re driving a quick car a fair bit quicker than a FF1600. I dont live in your part of the world anymore but if i did i would be following in your footsteps and getting a big buzz for not alot of money!
aw dad.... you see, even you crash. there are no excuses your just scared to let me have a go cause with my lightening fast reactions i would destroy the two of use! :P they call me the modern day senna so watch yourself! :P

He was on the wrong gear for me. more rpm = more grip, including the fact that the road has a LOT of bump.....so, this is my opinion.

WTF?! look at how much he's correcting the car. Why the hell would they tune it like that?! there's way too much oversteer.

I like how you left just enough video at the beginning and end, rather than cutting it all short, or having several minutes of garbage. Good edit!

I thought slicks were more grippier? And most people are complaining about the tyres? I find nothing wrong with slicks.

Ouch about the vid description. Even Vettel made clumsy mistakes, it's human to err.
