Seems to be several Asphalt options. Any track temp charts out there as a guide to tire selection?

How about carpet, any feedback there?

Thank

Yeh but back a while ago it was the best combo we had, that's how we got Tamiya Fred to get them branded with TCS logos.

Speedworld and Ripon, in Norcal

tracks temp 80-120 so far, for the Hypersoft. Before them we run the other two tires years round

Heck there are three tires faster then 572

Volante Hypersoft, Ride GR, Ride R1, in grip order most to least

Oh no, not me.
That was a back in the day reference only hahaha.
They did get things moving in the right direction and help turn our "Parade cars" into quicker Parade cars and get some new interest going along with UF1.

I tried the medium/hard set at Calrc. Easy and consistent to drive so I turned up my push brakes. Felt a bit like tamiya kits. Going to try medium next time...
