I am surprised that Porsche in their infinite wisdom failed to provide something suitable as part of the kit for moments like these. I am gutted for you and I hope that all of this gets sorted.

On the other hand the Trofeos look fantastic!

Tyres worked out great in the end, they fit and work! the turn in on the car is much much sharper with 235's rather than 245's. It dosent feel as planted and a little more twitchy. Took a little getting used to, more of a difference than i thought. The track was wet for the most part but i did get a little hoon in the dry (although not quick). Very quick in the wet, seem to take the damp better than cups and be a little sharper and stickier in the dry. Hard to say though, ill find out more next week in France.
Anyone else trying these tyres?

Track day was bonkers, on guy rented the whole track and brough with his fleet of cars (didnt get a pic of the 16M, plus bought a load of old 172's and williams for his mates to ragg around the track. This is how you have fun!

Few pics:

Plus I found sometimes you need to put a pipe on the end to get enough torque.

Thanks guys.

The car turns in much sharper with thinner tyres. The steering is also much lighter. The car isn't under steering yet, but need a hard go in the dry to really see what is what. The tyres are fantastic and I'm hoping although thinner due to the compound will help tame the understeer as well as be sharper. Need to wait and see. Suppose 245's in this compound would be the ultimate.
