I've added coilovers and decent rubber and now the car feels solid and planted all the way to infinity, and I don't have to worry about traction as much too. I must admit the RFT's are quite good for what they are when there is plenty of tread but going high speeds on stock suspension the car felt choppy and at times unpredictable. It wasn't confidence inspiring. Anyways, sorry for my rant. Hopefully you can hook up the tyres on the track and get some clean launches but I still think you will spin through the first couple gears trying to put that power down. Good luck though! You can only get better mate.
BMW86: Hehe yeah the runflats are a bunch of fun! Dumbest idea ever from BMW and the other car manufacturers. I'll be swapping them out as soon as they are used up or I get sick of them.

I have no expectation of pulling a 1.6 60' time with these. I think it will be challenge to beat 2.0 to be honest.
