I think they're quite inexpensive too!
As you can see, it was also 'a bit moist' at Croft on Friday too...

Re: Triumph only track day Castle Combe Weds 4th April.
Hi Steve, I've got a set of Nankang NS-2R's on my Sprint and they are unbelievably good in the wet. So much so, instead of investing in a set of wets I'm going to stick with these.

Come and see some pretty shoddy, slow driving of a really well prepared competition Sprint here!

Yes, those conditions look familiar!shaunroche wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 12:04 am Hi Steve, I've got a set of Nankang NS-2R's on my Sprint and they are unbelievably good in the wet. So much so, instead of investing in a set of wets I'm going to stick with these.

Are you still running 13" rims or have you gone up? I'm looking at 195/50/15. Not sure the Nankangs would help ME, the 2 door car's weigh distribution and overall weight is so different to a Sprint's. But that's one i've not tried yet so may give it a go, thanks for the tip! I can get the T1Rs for £50 a corner, which I thought was pretty good!

Re: Triumph only track day Castle Combe Weds 4th April.
Great day at Combe as I was disappointed with the weather but it didn't spoil the enjoyment as much as I thought it might.
I went to take some pictures but it was such a mud bath I only got a few.. Really sad to see Robs car in such a state after a visit to the tire wall but I hope he has it back up and running soon. I had the privilege of a run in this car the year before and it really is a quick car.

Rob was at mine yesterday, cutting a rear quarter off one of my scrappers, all the rest of the damage is repaired and he hopes to be at Goodwood at the end of the month.
