Do they check?

I’m taking my R3 out on its debut track session to Brands this week. I tried on my old motorbike helmet earlier that I was planning on wearing and it won’t fit in the car. The roof is pushing my head over onto my shoulder and the problem seems to be worse if I move back or recline the seat a...

So have a evening session at Brands, I have 2 pairs of 595rs. One pair has 1mm above marker and the other pair has 2mm. Am I right in thinking I should put the pair with more thread on the front?

Hello all,

My RX-8 is beyond the break-in stage for the rebuilt motor and I am now looking to start doing a few track days with it. However, I am a complete novice to track days other than the odd drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. for 3 laps around a small circuit experience days. Also, prior to...

It's all well and good getting your car to take the corners well but the limiting factor, even with standard suspension and tyres, is keeping your arse in the seat so you can maintain control - especially if you have leather seats. :roll:

Just a thought. All that are new to the track experience may find some valuable information in the art of setting your tyre pressures on the day. I know it shows setting up a fwd car but the principal is the same.

With Paul posting up a quick review and info about the keyfob cam and some of his own YouTube footage, I thought I'd post up about the details of how its mounted and where to get it from. Recent track day rules at MSV organised events (we go to a lot of these) prohibit the use of suction mount...
