Colchester - round 3 - 22 April
Looking forward to this one, just hoping it's not too windy and wet!!
Don't suppose there are any up to date photo's of the off road track after our visit earlier in the year? Also whats the plan for the day with times for gates opening and starting racing? Cheers in advance.

Finally I will be able to race this weekend. Can I sort out the brca license on Sunday, as I figure it would not be through in time anyway?

Is the track similar to last year? |

The track is in a different location to last year. When I went to the shakedown meeting at the start of the year I would say the track was a little smaller and bumpier, it also had a cross over, double and table top corner. No idea if anything has changed since, although I know there were plans to smooth it out a little and do some updates.

Tires are a tricky one, the safe bet would be Dry: Schmacher Yellow Mini Spikes, if you want less steering you could try a stagger rib on the front also in yellow. Wet: Ballistic Buggy Spikes in Green on the rear and Schumacher Green mini spikes on the front. I'm also liking the Dboots Multibyte at the moment which seems to work well on most surfaces in most conditions from dry dusty grass to soaking astro. Although from memory I don't think they were as good as a ballistic green on wet grass. Feel free to come and ask on Sunday if you're unsure.

That's what I was thinking pretty much. I find the multibytes don't have the side bite on grass, but when the track is torn up they perform better, possibly, than schumachers. Probably start with ballistics, then see what the weather and 50+ cars do to the track The jumps astro/carpet covered I take it? |
