Sideways Sid Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Has anyone got any expierence on running slick tyres on a superlight, I am thinking of buying a R400 race car but am unsure of the costs involved in using slicks (i know what slicks cost, but am unsure on how long they last) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Birtwisle Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Andy, Are you sub'd to the se7en's.net mailing list(s) of not it may be worth asking there as there are folk there who may well be able to give you some good advice.

scooby dooby doo Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I think slicks should arguably be replaced every race as temperature cycling and aging really hammer them. That's one of the reasons a full season of the R400 series is rumoured to cost over 20k (+car) HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Ouch - 20K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 yup- racing at that level is an expensive business. I'd have guessed you can have more fun in a less serious series for less money... HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
