- :::::moreRide and handling
- Our track improvements most often start in this area. The right wheels, tyres and suspension will offer significant benefits to the enthusiastic driver both on the road and for track day purposes. Of-course it is crucial that an acceptable balance is designed into these modifications so that dual road and track use remains practical.
- :::::moreBrakes
- Effective brakes allow a car and it's driver to go faster safer. The durability built into all production cars and their braking systems can always be improved on by careful selection of quality components such as from AP Systems, Padgid and Performance Friction. The Plans team will discuss the advantages and costs of the many alternatives.
- :::::moreSafety
- Extreme use of production cars demands special attention to safety. Track days have a high safety record but changes, such as proper race seating and race harnesses further improve that record and have the benefit of added comfort which then tends to heighten confidence and personal performance.
- Power
- Raising the power (bhp and torque) of the engine should not necessarily be the first performance modification to your car. We believe that a well set-up car is a prerequisite of a project to boost power. We will discuss with you the cost and reliability trade-off in this work. We work with a small number of proven suppliers and engine-tuning partners to deliver extra performance.
