Normal e-marked road tyres + standing water/wet track marking = crash.

He's meant to be pretty useful behind the wheel, but I didn't know he was doing drifting. He will probably will keep well clear of it now!

Yes.

Agree with Robin, you need to be able to control the drift, they don't just use old tyres.

The pros don't anyway, maybe the amatuers will use part worns, but no-one will use fucked tyres.

Phil Morrison (the Driftworks guy) will use a pair of new tyres every 3 runs at Silverstone

If you're good, you'll be sponsored by someone who will provide cheap/free new tyres.

I watched a summat on MotorsTV and they said they get about 6-7 runs out of a set of tyres, first one or two will be shit cause there two grippy, then they get about 3 decent runs, then last couple are shit again.

That'll be in his old car (S14a) in the S15, he ruined brand new tyres in 3 runs, the first time he drove the car
