Rather surprised the 2 foam tire'd cars didn't dominate
What rubber tires were the F104W's using? I'd really like to run my '79 Lotus but the stock tires just aren't going to cut it.

Track was loose and dusty. It was good towards the evening, but videos by then would be too dark.

Hi Roy,
Tamiya rubber tires (though rules are any brand). Foams also Tamiya. Yes we were using tire additives.
It's really the track, it's a warehouse so dusty. Only after being run in by touring cars does it get decent grip. Here is the breakdown.
Two of the cars on track were runner ups in the Tamiya Asia Cup Finals (8 countries participate). The winner ran the 2010 runner up car. Me the organizer was 2011 runner up. The 2010 TAC F1 champion was the one who layed down in the track to take the ground level videos.
Best of all, we had 5 newcomer racers to F1. More than the oldtimers.

The light blue one on the left is running r1 softs and f3 softs. Of the rubber tire cars he pulled off the fastest lap. That corrally naturally was flying. Even with a 25.5 and throttle EPA turned down he was still at least half a second faster per lap then our 21.5 rubber cars.
