Thanks Sennaspirit, that's a great idea for a video - a virtual, transatlantic Crossfire race series.
Tyre wear really depends on the circuit, tyres, setup and conditions. My rears have lasted for 5 trackdays and 15,000 miles (about shot now though), but I have changed the fronts twice over the same period. The wear rate is a lot less in the wet. I am conscious of looking after the tyres on the track though and tend to limit my sessions to let them cool down and recover. I think Derek goes through a set of tyres per event in competition.
That's the advantage of vicarious racing, your tyres last indefinitely.
