That does look very wet, are Toyo Proxes T1r tyres any good in the wet, or any recommends.

they wont be great andrew!
i was always lighting up the rears even on damp roads with them on. they are a very good tyre but not ideal when wet. youll still be able to use them
ok but with that power youll need to be careful!

I've found Blyton's surface to be quite grippy when wet compared to other tracks... and there's plenty of run-off. The problem with
888/048 is the difference between wet and dry performance that can catch you out.
888's are OK in damp conditions (especially if they're already warm when it rains) and ok in the wet. They're not good in standing
water, though I wouldn't worry about the odd puddle on track; The scary thing is stretches of standing water on a motorway.. 048's are
similar but some have said they find them to be not quite as good in the wet.
Yoko' 021's (wet treaded 048soft) are good in the wet and survive quite well in the dry. If you're on 15" or above you can
consider Toyo R1r's (basically an 888 with more cuts). T1r's are just a road tyre and some say not really suited to a light car (others
swear by them).

Cheers Frank.

I take it there's no takers for these 2 space places?
That's a shame, it doesn't look like there's going to be much surplus cash.
It's funny though, I must have had 15-20 people contact me once I'd announced all the places were full, to tell me they were desperate to
come, and let them know if ever a place was free, no matter how late...

I take it you u2u'd them.
Might be worth starting a new "Blyton PPC day - 2 places left" thread as not everyone spots new posts on old threads.

I've just received an email from Richard, laying out the timetable for the day...
HI Frank,
Here is the timetable:
8.00 am : Signing on
9.00 am : Safety Briefing
9.30 am : Sighting laps
10.00 am - 12.30 pm : Open Pit Lane
12.30- 1.30 pm : Lunch Break
1.30 - 5.00 pm : Open pit lane.
5.00 Pm : Chequered Flag.
If we have lots of novices , it might be good to have a half hour early on
when the track is for novices only ?
Breakfast will be available from 7.30 am and lunch from Midday. Please ask
all participants to avoid the temptations of McDonalds or curled up garage
sandwiches. Our food is all locally sourced and entirely proper !!!
Very best
Richard.

Your're welcome to a few laps in mine. It has a slightly better balance around Blyton with some ballast in the passenger seat anyway, even if
that does blunt the speed slightly.
