How do you use your car on a regular basis?

I wouldn’t say it’s my daily but I do drive it often on the street and drive it to and from the track regularly.

How many events/track days do you do a year?

As many as possible. I like to get out as often as I can to all events!

What type of events do you participate in?

Everything I can really. So far in 2015 it’s seen Wakefield Park and Sydney Motorsport Park a number of times but also Motorkhana, Hill climbs and even the drag strip a few times as well.

Why are the ADVAN AD08/AD08R tyres your preferred choice of all in one street/track tyres?

Because it just makes sense, it’s a perfect all round tyre, extremely safe on the road in wet and dry conditions and gives you great feedback with how the car handles, you can just drive down to the local race track or even the drag strip and you can have full confidents in the tyre knowing it’s going to do exactly what you want and nothing less, it really is a race tyre for the road.

Any additional comments?

I’d just like to say thanks to Yokohama for putting on this event on, its a great challenge to see what street cars can do on these tyres.
