That's fine, I can 'break it' in for you............

That was my main driver as well. The advantage of freedom from the 2k cup rules is that we can spend a bit more and make it more track focussed.

Still looking for car ideas. Something capable of 1.23 without Paul being able to break it would be good.

1.23?? - sounds like a 964 time??

John - you just focus on finding those missing 3-4 seconds before you can get smart mate.......

Still waiting for pic of the L.M. winning 936 from '81 (Jacky I & D Bell at helm). 25 pages late better than not at all...

Old pads were Brembo. Worked well as a road/track pad. A bit of squealing at first, but once on the SITT they were quiet and fade free. Just feel the need for a more focussed pad and hopefully the PFC 08 compound is that. Seems good so far. Interesting feel if you rub two together. They feel like a knife sharpening stone.

Also looking at ducting to slow my heavy beast versus light foot Lola.

Great stuff??? That is outrageous. May as well get a stock car. The risk of a super cheap car is nobody has any respect for the gear
