Default Lighting up the four tyres on an S202.

Cant fault this weather at the mo lads! was out in the 202 last night and felt like giving it the beans and thats something i rarely do as its an absolute drinker due to the power it runs. I came through a round about up here in sunny Merthyr with a cracking long straight on the exit (one that ritchie SPEC-C knows well i imagine.) and it lit up all fours in second and momentarely in 3rd in the dry!!! This cars mental in these temperatures with the Acuamist aswell just wish i could get it on the track to see its full potential as that is what the original guy had it set up for the Nurberg and Uk tracks.

What kinda power are you running to lose traction in 3rd in the dry? Sounds like one fun car.

know's it well mukka
the roundabout is slightly lower set in the the road to the entrance and exit?so it's not to hard to get loss of traction on this roundabout on the exit it does tend to have a little jump on the exit so the wheels are more or less off the tarmac already( if you are commited )but this stretch of road is nortorious for accidents and for big brother watching
so be carefull
or COMMINTED
points don't make prizes in this one fella

your 4n is ringing mukka

400bhp thats a good round number.

Are you the Banana coloured car I see most mornings around 8 ish, on the A470 ?

And that bit of road is it the one just after the speed camera going into Merthyr?

Sounds like you need a tyre with some grip then or do you use tyre shine on the tread?

I will look out for you then and we will give your scooby a go out on the road against this 202, if its running that power then it should be close against this but this thing's gearing is nutts, it will take some catching up to 3rd-4th.

Look forward to seeing you sometime, what plate is she as i will keep an eye out for you.
