Wasn’t around to watch live and failing to find the recorded version…..? Am I being dim?

100% this!

Says it on the box. Not on the pads. Barely any ID on the pads themselves and nothing that will survive long service. Not sure why you would put that statement on the box when your own marketing puff says ”Replacing M1144 road applications MRM1801 is a new medium friction compound specifically developed for performance road and light track day use.”?(my underline)

Are there? I’ve been hunting Vitesse/GT6 ones for a while……. No personal experience yet but I’ve seen comments that the new replacement lacks the initial bite that make the 1144 so good.

Thank you. Your share of the miles is considerable. Usually at maximum attack . That Nurburgring lap…. The lay-by at the A303 end of the Cartgate link just happened to be in the critical spot. It was obviously meant to be. Well….. it’s only 2,777 miles a year. Don’t think it’s ever been more than about 6k in a year. 2009 was a big one. 10CR was 3,200 that year and it had already been to Switzerland a couple weeks before which was nearly 2k. A big proportion of the 100k has been done n mainland Europe. For the record, the original engine (from the 89 build) came out in 2015 at 67,911 due to its serious oil habit. I reckon it had done at least that many previously. I know for a fact it was at least three cars prior and the bottom end lives on in my GT6. Story to be continued for a while yet hopefully!

Milestone on the way home from work this evening. That’s the mileage since September 1989 when it first went on the road in its current configuration.

Looks superb! Jealous….

Good luck with this!

About time! Traffic light Grand Prix winner with 4.11….. not so great on the open road. Recommend 3.63:1.

Moved to Gurston Down stop….. Will miss Badgers Holt in a way, but was bit of a PITA for access and communications.

It’ll be fine on 95. I run both of mine on 95?all the time. Vitesse is allowed the good stuff for track days!

Not smooth roads then - perfect for a small-chassis bone-shaker

Sure. 100% The truth or hard facts must never be allowed to interfere with the narrative. If 10 years ago (or even a bit less) someone had written a book/film/script running as reality has in recent times they’d have been thought deranged - or at least extreme satire! And one of these nutters has access to the nuclear button…..

True that. My feeling is that older stuff has fat margins in casting thickness. Hell, they stretched the 893 to 948 to 1147 to 1296 to 1496!
