| Despite my avatar (more on that later) I run a 2000 996SPS on track and do "quite" a lot of trackdays. I changed to using slicks last year and haven't looked back since.
The bike received some serious supsension mods earlier this year from JH Performance and the difference is unbelievable. John himself may ride it at Mallory on the 1st so that you can see what it can do (there's no way that I can get near it's limit.)
Regarding the question about tyre wear on track, I'm currently using a soft compound front at 30psi (cold) and a medium rear 29psi and have just completed 4 days: Jerez, Mallory, Cadwell and Snetterton - that's 610 miles and I may be good for another day yet. The last treaded tyres that I used (D208 GP) were excellent but only lasted 210 miles on Silverstones GP circuit! |
