    Well I am not fast as you mate lol, my best at Donington is just 1.55 on my rosso 2 daul compound tyres, I do need some stickier rubber for next year and may try corsa or even supercorsa, however So far though I do 7500 miles a year on road and only about 5 track days, so it needs to be a compromise unless I either buy a track bike (to expensive for now) or buy 4 more wheels for slicks or D212 and wets?

    Time Will tell as this is my first track year and the bug has bitten lol ;)

    It may be worth while having a look at scrubbed tyres, as you can save a bundle. i pay about £100 a pair and get 2 race meetings out of them. Most trackdays will have a tyre guy on site and he will usually have some available. I run Racetechs or Supercorsas and they are both great tyres. Continental have just released a new Race Attack tyre which a friend runs and he rates them, so keep an eye out for these too.
