Snetterton track day oct 26th

This is pretty much what I did (38 front and 36 rear) and the car handled fantastically. Once the tyres warmed up they gripped like glue and I was able to get on the power out of the corners so much earlier in the RS than in my previous Fiesta ST.

All four tyres have a lot of scrubbing on now though so this does mean they were working hard. May go for the Michelin Cup tyres when I change them but they will cost £50 more per corner!

The RS is so easy and forgiving to drive on a track and can’t wait till my next one which will probably be Bedford Autodrome in March if anyone is interested?

This car needs to be used on a track to appreciate how good it is.

This was another thing I was thinking of Louie, maybe 18″ ST or the new optional anthracite ST line alloys to keep the costs down for winter and track day tyres.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Ford spec the RS in 18″wheels as an option in some markets so it fits over the brake calipers ok.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Winter tyres are 18″ only for the RS according to the supplement.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I can’t see it having much of detrimental effect on track grip but I’ll look into it deeper before I buy anything. ???</p>
