Just to clarify about my track days.....it is never a RACE......it's all about lapping the track at a pace that you're comfortable with. Having said that, I can't deny how fun it is to try to keep up with or even pass cars that are supposed to be much faster than you by the specs. I derive great pleasure in driving my car on the track at a pace that is rapid, yet within my and my car's limits. It's the only place I can safely take advantage of my car's performance. I personally find straight line drag racing on the streets to be quite one dimensional and unsafe.
And to answer your question, I find my tires can last 3-4 track days. The outside edge is where they wear out the most, especially my front tires. My tires are street tires, not R-compounds. |
What about insurance, do you have an additional racing insurance or does your normal insurance let to track a number of days ever year??
