Yeah if you run 2 new sets of tyres each day there is £100 alone its easy to get carried away, but TC was worse, i spent 4K on tyres alone one season before restrictions came into place

I was thinking of doing nationals not this year but next, if I retain my F2, but don't think I'll bother if it's that expensive.

It's only expensive if you make it that. You can do the weekend on a couple of sets a day, but it might cost you some pace. They are a great laugh, well worth the money imo.

Its as expensive as you want it to be, just because you use new tyres doesnt mean you will go so many seconds faster, you still might make mistakes and so might everyone else, its only at the sharp end that they really come into play IMO

9. Do you paint your own body shells?
The top three responses were as follows –
1st ‘Yes’ with 140 votes
2nd ‘No’ with 65 votes
3rd ‘Sometimes’ with 62 votes
I could never paint a shell very well so normally I get someone else to spray it for me but by the looks of things most people are giving it ago themselves!


...BUGGER!

The proxy server is the same IP, you wont go out under your workstations IP.

The software that I used tells me that Ian Southwell received 5 votes so I’m not sure where the other 10 went too!

Are the results of this survey somewhat biased due to the fact that it has been carried out on this forum? or did you post on others?
