Light weight cars, amazing grippy tracks, and tires have evolved setups to this point
Well, the issue we're having is that our track is pretty far from "amazing grippy". In fact most people have the same issue - at about 3 minutes in when the tire treatment wears off, it starts to get like we're driving on ice.
