I rode on slicks on my 999 at cadwell the race started in the dry, It then started raining and two bikes crashed.
then it was red flagged and we were given 5 mins to change to wets.
then it stopped raining and everybody went out on slicks.
then it started raining and 2 more bikes crashed.
then it was red flagged again.
Safety isn't slicks, if its wet, wet tyres are great, if its dry, slicks are great, but inbetween is horrible!
I've just bought a set of wets, £280 (bridgestones) and I'm told if it stops raining and the track dries up abit their knackered in a couple of laps. if its raining very lightly or stop start, people use slicks because they still offer more grip/speed as long as it doesn't get too wet!
cheep racing?
