Surely just change them at the hotel and leave them in the room? He'll only be staying a few miles from the track.

I think it looks cool

Yeah like Rich said, change the wheels & leave them at the hotel. Hotel is only a couple of miles away. It's no problem driving on the Cups, but if its damp/wet the Eagle F1's will be loads better, so I want to have the choice.

How can that look cool it's comical as looks ridiculous but doesn't matter as certainly serves a purpose.

Explain to me how you find the cup tyres G, I've bought similar tyres, different brand, same design in mind.
I've got ad08's currently, so they're pretty bad in the wet, wondering what to expect with tyres similar to the Cups

Yeah hopefully Tom already has confirmation I can keep them in a safe place.

Yeah hopefully won't be too bad Nathan!

They're quality Gez. They'll be crap in the wet aswell only tyre that performs well in the wet seems to be road tyres or wet slicks. They never overheat either aslong as you keep the pressures alright

Nurburgring was seriously mental, loved doing the Trackday, and doing the full straight was awesome taking the first bend at 156mph (GPS), had great weather was 30 degrees on the Monday and 25 degrees on the Tuesday with a thunderstorm half hour before the end but was quite happy to call it a day by then.

The estate came in handy again managed to get 6 wheels and 6 tyres in.....just



Had my MOT done aswell no problem



Didn't realise how low the pads were getting so thought I'd better give them a new set for a hard week at Nurburgring





Headed off to Nurburgring with the wheels loaded up



First fuel stop near Spa



Scenic shot whilst stopping for a piss



Getting ready to go on track



Imola Red friendsssss





Car loaded up and spectating a Porsche Trackday before heading home



Videos I've edited so far:

Scary moment on the first lap on Tuesday, Porsche Cup Car pulls out on me whilst I'm doing approx 150mph

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9pknzimNTM

Most crazy 3 laps of my life, spent first lap with a GT3 RS behind me but didn't have rear cam turned on as you can hear me moaning about lol. So just put the 2 laps where he is infront including a GTR joining in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9A7B9lgO_Q

My fastest lap of the day, 8min02, beat my previous best by 21 seconds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU1fBBudJVw

Ferrari sets on fire 15 minutes after the trackday starts

You have some fairly big testicals! Over taking on the outside of the karussell was brave! The guy in the Alfa Spider (?) looked an idiot however.

Gutted you never had the rear view cam on for the first 2 laps

Looked an epic trip

Going back to the discussions being had when your cage first went in.... that dash NEEDS to go, pretty sure your nads won't fit in the car before long if it doesn't.

Is it just the Milltek exhaust and Supersprint manifold you've got on it, standard airbox? Sounds much nicer than some of the others.

Pmsl. Geezer was a bellend. I wasn't intending to overtake around the outside I'd just been using the outside quite alot as it's so bumpy on the inside I was only using it on hot laps. Just so happened my car handled so much better than his I could have gone round the outside of him

Nobody is more gutted than me, as you can tell by my ranting in the video

Na Fucshroere or something, down the road from the Ring Casino, was a nice little place and cheap too. Didn't realise you were out there aswell it was quality weather weren't it!

Yes, yes & no. I've got a Geoff Steel Racing (CSL copy) Airbox on it, hence the sound difference

Some official pics from the day



Whilst chasing the GT3 RS in my video





Strange rubbing on Karoussel, presumably arch lining



And a picture I've always wanted, a wheel off the ground almost got 2 off the ground!



Rained on the last half hour of the day so I did 1 wet lap, not gonna lie it was scarily slippery on the Cups
