Hello, Am really looking forward to the event at North Wield, but have a question about my tyres. :) I'm thinking about getting new tyres, even though the ones on now will probably last till the event. There is currently about 2.5/3mm on the back wheels and about 4mm on the front. Do you recommend getting new tyres before the track day? Thanks, Sam :)

North Weald is not really about who's quickest round the bend, more about learning how your car will behave and how best to control it at its limits. If your tyres are a bit below par, then the limit will just happen sooner - No matter, you will still have the same learning experience. You can always use them as an excuse ;) Tim.
