Default 1/10 Practice in Frosty Conditions

Quick bit of footage I took in December at the first round of our Winter series.

Shot about 20 mins before the meeting started proper.

Practice in Frost
As our race director says;

'Real Racers Do It Outdoors'

Or not enough traction sauce on the asphalt so that your shoes come off as you walk accross the track.

Cool vid!

Do you find plastic parts become very brittle in the frost??

I don't think so, we usually have less damage in very cold conditions but I think that's partly due to the slower speeds involved.
