ok, does this track love to eat tires? because after about every 4-5 laps, my right front starts to go. My times are getting better, but I'm thinking long term. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Nope, me too
Cause is the fast turns, esp the one left hander after the bridge
But that's the least of my problems here... finding brakepoints is the more urgent one ;D

I can get 8-9 good laps before my tires are yellow and useless. Usually I can drive on orange tires and be fine but this track seems way to fast for that. Might need a pitstop for the long run. May I ask who the heck did a 1:35 lap  I've hit 1:38.9 myself and I believe that's about as much as I'll eke out unless I draft somebody. |

I'm gonna be trying a 17 lap run today, and if those tires explode. Then we may have some issues. lol Well pitting is tricky here, because sometimes the cars flip, and sometimes they don't.

So I ran 18 full laps, and tire got to red on the final lap, but they were all at least yellow or orange. The times decreased so much though in the second half of the "race" so after about 10 laps or so, times start to decrease dramatically, at least for me. Any tire saving tips like with camber or pressures would be awesome  |

Great race report Karl! @ Ucrdoh, congrats on your first career victory!  What's amazing is you tamed a track, that is very hard to master, with all it's blind turns. This track frustrated me for days... Thanks to Carlos he helped me out big time in that area. |

What's up with the green smoke? ;D put a little fuel additive in before the start Triz   I was suprised at how well I finished in the 2nd race, in fact I didn't even know what pos. I was till the last lap because I turned the tire moniter on at the start. |
