I think this is Coxm. The man is a legend.

[Bruce Fielding]

Nope. This is George - RTR4.

He lives in Scotland, so this is probably normal for him!

Looks like he's running his A048s on the front and his T1Rs on the rear.

I wonder how that worked in those conditions.

[4RTR]

Sadly nothing seemed to work. Couldn't get any grip from 48's or T1Rs and spent the first day sliding about and generally not going very quickly at all. The drive back was fairly special, at one stage I was ankle deep in hailstones rolling about the foot well. My heated waistcoat worked well and kept the cold out. Nothing could help with the 5th & 6th gear 70mph plus fishtailing along the Belgium motorways whenever I got a little throttle happy. Like driving on ice and needing 2 lanes to keep straight. Not to be recommended despite the obvious delight of some locals in a following van.

Think I'll stick to summer dates at the 'ring in future.

This is the sort of ring you want to put an Atom in during November, a bullring near Seville, much warmer weather. Respect for driving in that wqeather.
