Ah, ok sort of sighting lap.

Still one of the last locations I can imagine on Zandvoort to end up in the gravel pit.

 

Aiming at 2 min flat this year chill? It has been done in a none aero 280hp SC speedster. (not me)

I run the zzr,s...seem good to me but not tried 888r so not much help

 

Peter, so do I, last much longer than A048's, and probably 888's. I don't find much difference on track, but on the road I think that the ZZR's are to extreme, and give a very harsh ride.

Five o'clock How have you found the wear on the R888Rs Just interested for comparison

No real difference to the old version that I can tell from one quali and race.

I thought i would give a bit of feed back on these, they heat up really well and  ideal for sprinting and the out and out grip is better than the ZZRs, but i do find they wear very quickly, ( 2 full track days and the rears are dead ) 

 

but the big big thing for me is a characteristic which ive not managed to iron out which i dont have on RSRs or ZZRs and that when getting on the brakes from full power the car seems to Buck up from the rear and unsettles the rear or the car,

 

ive tried  a varied amount of tire pressures on these and it seems the lower the pressures the better it gets but still there, but the front end is megger so maybe its the balance of the car,

 

so my question is how can i solve this issue (setup of the car or tire pressures etc )

Concerning the wear I've had mine shaved down to 3mm and they dont run as hot. They now wear evenly and slower and last a 45 minute race,. 

Have you got big front brakes?

yep i read you shave them and if i wasent sprinting i was going to give it a go

did you ever suffer from the bucking up on the rear 

[fiveoclock]

No I didnt. Do you just get it going onto the brakes hard at the end of a long straight so going quite quickly or does it happen at any speed when going on the brakes hard

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

its more obvious when im braking above 130 mph hard, dont get me wrong they hang on but the movement is very of putting

The only time that I will be braking hard from that speed I run the rear wing (so Snett and Silverstone) and its fine. I wonder if its that. I've not tried it at that sort of speed without the wing.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

maybe if you get time at national im sure i will be going quick enough in to first corner to show you what i mean, i think i will be going wider tire eventually which might help, with more tire but that really more about getting the power down 

 

thanks anyway just thought i would ask if you had experienced it 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

i no George also complained about a similar thing when he was using them 

 

to a point where he said hes going back to ZZRs because its so off putting
