F1 with rubber tires VS Pan Car with foams on a parking lot surface track
 
Hey guys which do you thing is the most fun to drive on a parking lot surface track?

I parking lot raced both rubber tire and foam tire F1 years ago. In general, the foam had more traction, but required more prep. than the rubber. Rubber was more resilient and versatile. I'd vote rubber for just tooling around and having fun.

if it is rough asphalt there is a chance that the foam can "chunk" off if it hits a bad crack or something.

We already run nitro with foam and no chunking problems.

The 235 mm pan car on foams is 2-3 seconds per lap faster than the F1 cars.

Then run foams. You get crazy traction.

if the track is not clean and coated with something, foam won't be fun. Plus calculating rollout/readjusting ride height every time does not fall under "fun" imo.
