I don't think that increased grip equals more fun though so probably wouldn't bother with the R888 and if your tyres are at the point of overheating then it's probably a good sign to do a cool down lap and have a break

If you're worried, perhaps use a more run of the mill road tyre to limit lateral G.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am not new to TD's and have done most in TVR's.
I am booked in for a couple of TD's in the next few months with my Skoda TD car if all goes Covidly to plan.
As we are getting nearer I am very tempted to use my S. It is a really nice RS60 example and I would be loath to damage it mechanically. Thoughts are oil surge/lack of oil at pickup through higher cornering speeds.
I would use a spare set of wheels that I have shod with Toyo R888's which give increased grip.
I'm not worried about the rest of the car, I am sure it is built to take it but a few seconds, (or more possibly) without oil would be a disaster!
Would this happen?
What are your experiences please?
Thanks.
I have used mine in track regularly without any issue (touch wood). If you're worried, perhaps use a more run of the mill road tyre to limit lateral G.
I'd also ensure that you have a decent high temperature oil in the car. I use miller's but there are plenty of others out there
I did a day at Bedford in my 987.1 2.7 and had loads of fun so definitely go for it! I don't think that increased grip equals more fun though so probably wouldn't bother with the R888 and if your tyres are at the point of overheating then it's probably a good sign to do a cool down lap and have a break
Was going to use my Octy vRS at Coombe next Friday but the clutch has just started to slip so it's a no go.
Enter my Boxster which will be pressed into service.......watch this space.

Sorry to resurrect - how did it go?
Absolutely great!
What great handling! I'm sure I could lap quicker in this than my old 400 bhp TVR.
I used a set of Toyo 888's and can't stress how good the car was.
I used the sports setting, (suspension, different map and exhaust). It really was on rails.......
There would be little point in any upgrades apart from a baffled sump it was so good.
Bumps that my TVR mates were complaining about were ironed out!
Brilliant!
