They overheated after about 5 laps as the track temp was so high, but they remained very progressive. Before they overheated, they where great. If you use these on a heavy car, I suspect it's best to use them on a cooler day (but not wet). Make a fantastic road tyre as well. Turn in is fanbloodytastic.

OPINIONS Anglesey Circuit I'd read about the track being good, bad and mickey mouse, considering it was my first time there, in a car I hadn't driven previously, I was impressed with the circuit, organisation and the tuition. Good location, not too busy (maybe due to winter forecast), lots of track time and a drying surface meant that as my confidence increased my laps improved, I thoroughly enjoyed it, the car (my newly acquired 944 S2) worked well amongst the mix of Caterfields and Elises, and everyone I saw and spoke to all seemed to be enjoying the day. The sweeping School was difficult to master at first but once I got the line, it was easy to replicate, Abbotts is where a few drivers went off, kicking up some mud, and I could never quite get the right line through that right hander, always seemed to be waiting for the power to come to me on the uphill section to Radar whcih was so good to get right, clip the concrete on the left then hard right, back end slides and you're pointing at the Back straight. Hairpin was another one which took some time to get right, but once it did, I found I could just get oversteer into the straight before Douglas. The final left right and left is a very quick, full throttle complex which if you get the line right means no braking at all. Although I tend to agree with other comments that its probably better suited to the Seven's, Elises, etc. but Tiff Needell showed it can be done in a Merc and a Jag on this week's Fifth Gear so I was happy my S2 performed well enough. Many thanks to Book-a-Track for a thoroughly enjoyable day.
