This is what Hodge put up earlier in the thread. I think me and Tony are planning on starting at round 6 at Cadwell and doing the final rounds from there.

Get it done Mark, the more the merrier. Besides we'll give you someone else to lap lol

The first Snetterton date has shifted a week, it is now on the 26th & 27th, which makes it a bit of a ballache for me, as it was on a bankholiday weekend where as now it isnt so i'll be needing more days off, I also THINK that the f400 will miss one round but not sure if it has been annouced yet which one it will be.

Hijacking is cool its all racing related.

I did when I raced...but the only time I won (2 races*) I did not have a genny and so never used them.

Make of that what you will. I'll not be bothering anymore, but they do keep your scrubs alive for longer I reckon.


*streetstocks...so not exactly cutting edge F400 races...

I'm pretty sure 99.99% of people do use them, they do help prolong the life of a scrub as heat cycles kill them. keeping them on warmers all day means that they only heat up once and cool down once.

The only crash I have had was on cold tyres so for my head they are very good.

Yes we all use warmers, if we get held in holding bay due to problems or if theres a red flag + we are held before a restart then you definitely feel the difference + notice the cold tyres especially if its a cold day, if your not exactly pushing then will be fine but at lwast you can go into first corner with confidence

yes to tyre warmers , i did the first half of the season without warmers, and i lost 5+ seconds on the first two laps taking it easy until the tyres are warm, plus your tyres will last twice as long with warmers as they only go through one heat cycle throughout the day instead of potentially 5+
