As others have said, glad you are ok and the car isn't bad. Thanks for posting and letting us all learn from that. I think most of us would have been in the same situation there, so we all now know to be extra careful at those temps. Hopefully, I remember that lesson when I'm in the car at the tack.
Hope it is fixed and back on track soon. |

Yeah, I was wondering if someone has hacked the system so we can turn on track suspension with any PTM.

Definitely the Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the way to go!!!!! They work unbelievably better than the Goodyears?... Glad you were ok....

I tried to run the goodyears on a 50 degree intermittent rain day and I would have been better on racing slicks. Goodyears just plain suck when cold... Sorry you had to bump the wall to realize it.

Sorry to see that as others have said.
Someone needs to figure out how to enter the PTM mode for suspension and leave the nannies on like in sport mode. We need a race button next to the sport button. Tony

Looked like you were being careful on you first lap. I wonder if there was some oil or coolant on the track as you were not wot as you were exiting that corner. Glad the car is only a little out of wack it can be fixed. I hope you continue to track and enjoy it as this is what owning one of these cars is all about.

why there are not some laps at first for warming the tires? then after 1 or 2 you are allowed to pass others...
feel bad for your car. at least you're ok. |
