13th Aug Brands
Brands is just down the road from me, I may well make an appearance if that’s okay. :)
check if spectators are allowed mate before you leave ........ might still be participants only but might change by then
Good point, didn’t think of that. :thumbup:

Indeed, unless it's changed, i'm afraid they're not at the moment.

"back end is feeling a bit squirmy"

Oh, ok dear.

Went with the tyre to see Mark at Holbeach, "well, I'd maybe use it for one more session"

"Meh, swap it now then mate"

She's going well.

1st round of the RTTL Supersport series next week is going to be interesting :D

Tyre looks good, even all over and right to the edge :thumbup:

Lol I'm scared!!!

Tyre looks great. Had a chat with Mark the tyre guy and he said that the pressures we're using have been too low, they're only down there for proper fast guys, so recommend 26 cold, which is 32_33 hot, we've previously run 24 hot!! So a massive difference there.
As we can see, it certainly seems to be giving nice wear

I thought you had a new pair of SportSmarts for it from Marge ( I bought a pair at the same time, still in my garage ready for when the Michs on the 790 wear out) - surely they can't have been fooked already?

I did, but the front SC was fine, so made sense to buy a rear SC to match it, use them for 2-3 days till dead then fit the Sportsmarts as a pair instead of mis-matching them.

Not yet. The rear has done 2 days at Silverstone now, so if will get Brands on the 13th then likely coming up to time to be done, we may get Pembrey on 22nd, but not sure. These have done 3 sessions and were £60 so well worth collecting even if they're not going on until after Pembrey.
I've got another set in the loft for either hers or mine later too.
