In the UK we don't run 1/12th outdoors as they are undriveable. Any racing would end up being who manages to run for the race with the least spins.
We used to have some clubs that raced 1/12th on asphalt in the UK. Every one ended up with a custom built chassis with a long wheelbase and the motor behind the rear axle to get them to work.

These are totally kit 1/12th cars, no custom built chassis and motors in front of the rear axle.

Who is talking about the Tamiya brand tire
You can use Pitsu as these have better grip.
Not talking about A or B slicks like on the Toyota TS020.
Don't have that problem on our track.
We can run foams without prepping the track and we run 6.5 or 5.5 motors.

Have you tried F103s on rubber tires and unprepped asphalt? That's not so good either. I've heard of some people using rubber capped tires with some success but I have no desire to spend $20 per tire just to try it out. Sweep was working on a rubber tire for 1/12th but I haven't heard anything on them for a long time. Most likely they gave up.

For a while we ran 1/12th outdoors at Ipswich in the UK with no problem, was before Lipos but we ran 4 cell 19T motors, was great fun, so they can be run on ashalt.

we all know that they can be run on asphalt but it takes a very clean track such as that to do it!
