I spend so much time away for work that me being available for track days isn't going to happen too often.

I fancied trying the cups after having AD08s on my GP, with the suspension set up I had it totally transformed the car. As said, it won't make much of an appearance in the winter so the chances are the cups will stay on.

If I needed a second set of wheels for the SS, they would only be on the car for as short a time as possible, hence reps if needed.

The AD08s used to stay on the GP all year round, I just had to accept they weren't going to be as good when either cold or wet. The GP didn't hang about as Peter will testify

I also appreciate cesil has 100 more bhp but to me, if the conditions are crappy, I'll just have to remember to pussyfoot!!

IMO even more crucial for you to have the full fat Cups - there's no point going to a track-day to have it spoiled by having a 2-3 lap grip window before the tyres going off, necessitating you cutting short a session to cool them off. Even more so, seeing as the track events will be infrequent, so you want to get the most enjoyment possible out of them.

Given the full-fat Cups are cheaper as well, it really is a no-brainer .
