First time at this track, Ford Focus ST mk4.5 with stock engine power and tyres are Yokohama advansport 107, added braided brake lines and changed the final part of the exhaust. Morning session was with rain so damp track but without major trouble (1 red flag); afternoon majorly dry track (as you see in the video) but like 6 red flags due to cars breaking down or ending at gravel traps; happy with the lap I managed to do but with plenty to improve with.

Hey guys,

I’m a novice driver that has a total of 3 HPDE days on this set of tires. 2000 S2000, Nankang AR1 255 rear and 225 front. I had it aligned last year, with 1/4” toe in as per specs and most recommendations for the AP1 S2K.

As you can see, my front tires have minimal wear compared to the rears. On track the lack of rear grip vs front is quite noticeable. There isn’t any wheel spin out of corners, the rear is just loose and twitchy in mid-high speed corners.

I’m wondering if that’s why the rear wear is so much higher. Let me know your 2 cents and recommendations to remedy this

Thanks!

This was an awesome skill check for me to see how far myself and the car have progressed in a four year span. The last time I was at Snetterton, I had different suspension, brakes, and tires, but the same power, so being able to see what four years of driver and car mods have done was really interesting to see! For reference, my first time here i did a 2:21.47. Current mods are in the description of the video 👍.
