Adam it depends on many things like how much rubber and fuel you want to burn etc :wink: :D
Suggest you flush brakes with RBF 600 fluid and check pads for wear and have long sleeved shirt/jacket and helmet.

Yep have all the clothing I need including helmet already. And yes, totally agree, new pads. Didn't think about the fluid though, thanks rad. Will do that. Just got the car re-wired and is running again :) Yay. Looks much neater now too.
Oh and my new Engine mount arrived. Can't wait to put it on the car.

You don't need new pads if there is plenty of meat left on them now .
I have been using Bendix Ultimate padson the fronts and they seem ok on my car.

I have been needing to replace mine for a while. They aren't so low that it is grinding, but wouldn't survive a Time Attack

They have actually moved the barriers out a little since reopening but there is still no run off. Also it's not the walls being close are the issue, the track bites because the way the track cambers.

ahh ok. I may give that track a miss and stick with QR. It is just annoying because they are usually only held on a Wed at QR
