Metcheck is a good site to check the weather. It's very reliable. And considering sunday is 4 days away, it will be quite accurate.

Edit - Have you gone home??

Prepped? In what sense? Are you running Kumho ditch finders and pads on the metal?

Not checked pads.
Long time since last service
tyres will need replacing early next year

Running Conti S3's at the moment, FAR worse than the S2's the car came with. Won't be choosing those again.

Oh, and at my old mans sat night for a party.

Glad you said that about the S3's, I had to fit them to the Corsa VXR after the S2's wore out after 7k I really didn't rate them at all, the S2's were a lot better.

Why do companies make a product worse than the original? Idiots.

Thing is when we swapped them, no-one had any experience of other tyres in 19"s, so it was "fit what you can find".

Natural choice was to go for the S3's after the S2's production was stopped. I find them harder (compound?) in the dry, not as much grip or give in the tyres, and in the wet, well I really really don't like them. Turn TCS off and happily spins in 2nd, sometimes 3rd on slippery road, on a standard engine. Pants.

I need a car prepped before i go on track, i work it too hard (well theres only gravel traps to crash into, and if your gonna do that, make sure the cars straight) (except Clearways, crash there, your screwed )
