Unpredictable is a very good description of Cup 2s in the wet especially when they are not brand new

Ran them on my R at a sprint which was wet as did not have chance to put a set of super sports on, the car for something with 4wd was a joke, on the plus side the GT4 owner was also having issues on them. The issue was getting heat into them at the rear on the Golf which was compounded further by haldex but power to cold tyres at the rear

These tyres do transform car but there is a trade off when damp, they actually coped quite well when cold but dry but when the temp went below freezing i left it parked up.

When does it go below freezing in oxford? That has to be pretty rare.

Heard today that the Renault Clio RS16 has been canned after an extensive feasibility study. Had looked at the car side by side with the Clubsport S at Goodwood. Shame that it won't make production.

Just realised the CSS's CJX engine code is the same as in the R and Clubsport Edition 40, don't know why I am surprised about that  :undecided:

Might explain the software update  :wink:

Nice to see someone who will be keeping theirs longish term being excited about it.
It will be a sad day once they start arrival and all the adverts sprout up on Pistonheads by the flippers asking a 4k+ premium. :sad:
