Re: Rockingham Int Trackday Pics
Are you running supercorsa's on the R6? Ever run slicks?

Re: Rockingham Int Trackday Pics
Racehtechs
Not on the R6 - no as it was always illegal for the class ... but yes I have run slicks before ... on Race Ducati 996 and Race SP1 if that is what you mean (i.e. have I ever run a bike with slicks ) ... Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 23-10-08 at 10:06 AM. |

Reason I ask is a lot of guys here run slick on trackdays. Way I see it, if you have a track only bike that isn't governed by a race class - what would you go for? Is it a cost thing

As for absolute grip ... hard to say without trying one after the other on the same bike .. there is also the placebo effect to consider ... As you have a road bike and the hassle involved swapping over I don't think you will get enough benefit to go for slicks over racetechs etc .no .. |

Re: Rockingham Int Trackday Pics
When Danny was running his ZX10R we did 3 seasons with Bridgestone slicks, and half way through last year we swopped to Racetechs because we figured they were cheaper and we'd seen guys beating Danny on them - he still won races on them.
Danny reckons slicks give slightly more grip, but not enough to bother with even at his level of club racing. He also reckoned that when a slick slides it does so progressively and it's reasonably controllable, but a Racetech doesn't have the same margin for error - when it's sliding like a slick you know you're in deep **** |
