No Limits are doing Almeria from the 17th to 19th October and Portimao from 4th to 6th November.
They will do both trips for £1000.
That's 6 days on track for £167/day including bike transport and 4* hotel accommodation.
Anyone up for this?
(for what its worth - this would be a 2 set of tyres trip if you use Dunlop GP211 Racer N-Tec Endurance compound slicks front and rear)
Do you manage to get 3 days out of one of those rears? Mine have been done after 2.
What pressure do you use in them?
Dunlop say 21 PSI HOT.
Great grip.
I was running 22psi hot - not tyre warmer hot but hot hot - if you know what I mean?
I would go out at 20psi on the tyre warmer do 3 laps; each one progressively quicker and then into the pits where someone would adjust the pressure.
22psi on the tyre warmers was giving me 28psi at full speed and lots of sliding and tearing.

Ran the front at 32psi hot - lasted really well and is still on there now.

Fitted a medium compound for the final day and it got too hot very quickly and looked worse after 4 sessions than the previous endurance rear was at 3 days!
I know you know about these things so this is me exiting onto the back straight:
