    what is everyone getting up to in operating temps for the tires?
    I haven't played since Tuesday so I can't tell you about tire temps, but the controller sounds like its faster so let's see what kind of difference it makes!

    But alas to slow....
    I vote for moving the deadline to Sunday at midnight since we never get the new challenges up until Monday anyway.

    New deadline for this challenge: Tonight at midnight! Keep trying!

        Tried to run another lap. Managed to pull off a 39.383.... but thats definitely all I got!



        As for the Tire Temps, I was usually around 170F on average... but my tires only seemed to be good from Lap 2 to Lap 4, then they got crappy and would overheat from even the lightest slip angle after then.

          If it helps, I used the stock tire pressure. I found the car to be very sensitive to throttle input. It actually behaves a lot like it did way back in challenge #1 when it was stock. Learning to either coast to the apex or use trailing throttle helps increase turn-in speed a lot.

            I found it to be a slow in fast out car. To fast to throttle and understeer. Maintenance throttle wasnt to bad.....

                If there are any ideas for next week's challenge, post 'em here and I'll wait a few hours to see. If not, I have something in mind.
