Re: Hillclimb & Sprint - Special Class for Imp Based

I'm sad to say that the HSA seem to have finally dropped this specialised class....inevitable after several years with very little support. ( despite the best efforts of Graham Cashmore!) Davrian drivers will now have to race very uncompetitively in " specialist production cars up to 1700cc&quo...

Re: Tyre sizes?

It's really a choice of keeping my Yokohama a048r , buying a hans device and running modified class or sticking to roadgoing classes and buying new tyres... so about £400 either way..Just to carry on as before. . 205 /60-13 seems big to me....I'm on 175/50-13 ..but standard Imp gearbox. . I think I'...

Re: Tyre sizes?

The Toyo r888 is still on the list and is considered to be the stickiest on the list. Trouble is, it is only available from a 185/60 upwards. ..hence the question. .. I would buy a set if I could be sure the steering and gearing would be OK. In a bit of a dilemma now... 175/50 nankang or 185/60 toyo...

Re: Tyre sizes?

Thanks for that.... at least there's plenty of choice in a 185 size, so might try some.. A bit more research today and I've discovered Nankang do a 1b tyre in a 175 50 size. Don't know what they're like. Anyone tried them? And if anyone wants a set of Yokohama A048r , I will probably be selling my n...

Tyre sizes?

Thanks to the MSA and the EU , the tyres that I run in roadgoing classes in hillclimbs and sprints have been banned for 2016.. The problem is now that there is very limited choice of a list 1b tyre in 13" sizes. The smallest available to me is a 185/60-13 . I'm currently on 175/50-13 Other than...

Re: Mutley mayhem sprint Sunday Oct 3rd

Thanks for doing that.... A bit too technical for me I'm afraid. . Really enjoyed the day. ..though it was very busy in the cockpit with a lot of wheel twiddling going on! Hoping to do a few more events next season ( only did two this time) including Epynt and Shelsley Walsh and Llandow. Also thinki...

Re: Mutley mayhem sprint Sunday Oct 3rd

I have managed to post a video clip of me at this event on you tube... No idea how to put a link to it on here, but if you type in something like " mutley mayhem davrian " it ought to come up. This is an imp powered mk 6 . It's a roadgoing car, 998cc running an R20 cam and standard wide ra...
