Are you using anything to produce "wedge" in your oval track setups for
GPL? It seems one might be able to do something about those high RF
tire temps by working with the wheel rates. You can't change the cross
weight, the way you can in NASCAR, but perhaps, as the suspension
compresses on the banking, stiffer springs on opposite corners could
work essentially the same as preload does for normal wedge.
Just a thought - comments welcome

My best lap so far is 29.59 - what is everyone
else doing? (Amish)

GREAT work!

go to GPL page, and download 'Track Converter Demo' allows a few tracks for
GPL (Homestead, Watglen - new, etc etc)
Oh BTW anyone got any news on when converter is released?
