GP on the track

Head over to MINI2 to see Fabios pics of him driving his GP on the track!

i am a novice myself and it went smooth, i slowly built up my sped throughout the day. The brakes seem’d okay … It was wet so that made it easier on the car. I think when i’ll be pushing the car to its limits for the day the brakes will start to suffer … tyres were crap, they didnt have much grip at all. I’m looking into a new set of wheels and tyres

    Yes, the oem tires are complete crap. And 20lb wheels are not great either. You get what you pay for. Oh wait, not in this case. :(

    I’m very happy with what I got for what I paid! :)

    Does anyone know if there is a track quality brake pad available for the JCW brake kit?

    No luck finding alternate brake pads yet … you could join in the GP owner forum chat about this and other subjects if you wish …
