Seemingly I think that's like a feel thing to gauge the heat build up before they start to rev the engine and mess with the needle. And like all pro tuners, they listen to the engine purring. No temp gauges needed.

But seriously, the engine ran smooth during warm up. No engine cut off. And that's right after break in. Only the stupid receiver pack spoilt the day for me (another long story). So DNS for me (or rather I recorded only 1 lap) on the second and most crucial heat.

Just before the heat started, I found out my radio was in fail safe mode. Back in the pitlane to check while the cars all zoomed off to start the heats. I think after about 3 minute or so, I tried to run again to see if it's still something wrong and that's when I only registered 1 lap if I'm not mistaken and the same problem occured. That also because the transponder line is on the left side.

We need to sort out this traction roll thing ... I mean, which part is most sensitive to adjustment that prevents traction rolls without compromising the car's set-up.

As wide as you can go with 200 mm. Check with Uncle Crash. He has the most experience with it... And he consulted the Miester and he gave him some good pointers. Below are some proof of it...
