So I have a MINI now, which is my DD, but for the time being I'm also using it at the track. I can't decide what I want as a track car.. Not sure if I want something street legal, or a full on race car.. And the good thing about MINI is it is an amazing car to learn high performance driving, because there is no power to make up for your mistakes in the corners.. Tracking the M3 costs like $600-$800 per track day (not including event fee) whereas MINI costs about $200.

Width matters not diameter, ideally the smaller wheels requires less energy to spin it and keep it spinning.
M3 GT uses a 300-60/18 tire. Might be a rule for ALMS, but all ALMS GT cars use 18s. http://www.roadandtrack.com/var/ezfl...8eee858110.pdf same with the F430 GT http://www.roadandtrack.com/var/ezfl...498ec068c2.pdf http://www.roadandtrack.com/var/ezfl...b68c079937.pdf baffles me that the new F458 has 20's. Lots of manufactuers use 19s b/c of looks or b/c they need to fit carbon ceramic brakes on the cars. Last edited by mdosu; 11-16-2011 at 11:01 AM.. |
