How the hell did you manage to do that to the tyres on their drift circuit?! (it's a special polished surface)

That's quite an achievement - were they running way too hot or something? (did you pump them up maybe?).

I've used those circuits all day long in the dry and never had a hint of tyre damage (and I mean using them properly, not just driving around normally

)
Infact I've only ever seen one car suffer a tyre problem and it was not even approaching the severity of yours! (and that's over many years!)

What were you doing?! lol

PS I nearly popped over to see you but couldn't escape the office for once.

Aren't the black ones very rare? ISTR them making only a few black ones with the rest all being gray?

Anyway Tom, isn't it about time you stopped fannying about with Beemers and bought a proper supercar?

I think there are about 300 gray and 100 black roughly.

I think it was the heat in them that caused them to do that. i guess i was being harsher than necessary on the throttle. The organisers were saying that gareth and elliot only use as much throttle as is needed to get is sideways.
