Felt like that would've been an old school splitter+grass airbournes but they didn't get a great shot of the in the grass part....

It'll go great after the "beef, it's what's for dinner" main course

Dunno why they didn't schedule them back to back tbf

Somewhat indirectly this time around. They haven’t put any resin or PJ1 down this year, but I think all the residue from years past might have fucked up the surface regardless.

It's probably the type of stuff that only works when it's fresh. and now they're not putting it on, it needs to be cleaned off

No idea why they couldn't have run roadcars around the outside line before this weekend if they knew that though, unless they were hoping for rexx

It's behaving like a dirt track atm, outside line is a no-go area but the more they gradually widen the good line, the more it'll clean off and get better.

They already tried very hard to clean the track from that PJ1, it just won't go. One of the reasons for them to be texting on iRacing new track revamp.

Anyway, if they wanted to make people use the outside line on Turns 1 and 2, they should have made a better job on the merging with the backstretch. There's not much advantage of running the high line if the baking ends as early as it does.

Scary stuff.

Don’t think that was his fault either. The guy on his LR had room to the grass on his left. I know the 6 came down but I think he was expecting that other car to use all the track.

Just a reminder of what happened last year, over a newly applied PJ1
