I know exactly what you were dealing with (you saw my last results video from 2022). Rivals aren't very happy in cold weather. I thought you did a very good job managing the available grip in those conditions. That course had a lot of speed traps, which meant looking ahead was really key. Linking elements together was also important. Running wide in some areas would force you to have to slow down a lot to make the next element. In general, it appeared to me that you could run a tighter line in some areas. And it seemed like you were lifting a lot in some areas (possibly because the tires were breaking loose), which upset the car going into the next element. Smoothing out your throttle inputs would allow you to use 1 or 2 degrees more throttle in some of the sweeping turns. Entering the corners with more composure will allow you to feed a little throttle and maintain composure through the corner. If you let off of the throttle all the way, you're shifting weight forward and taking weight off of the rear tires, making it harder to put the power down when you get back on the throttle. Input timing, degree and duration will all improve with seat time. And it's hard to gauge what is habit and what was just a reaction to the lack of grip at this event. I usually start at 29 psi on my first run, especially on cold days. If there's a lot of time between heats, I bump my pressures back up and start the process of building heat all over again. Your courses seem to have a lot of sweeping turns. Your attack strategy at the next event should be to figure out how to limit the distance in those sweepers by running a tighter line. Just make sure that line prepares you for the sweeper exit and the next element. It's great to see the car back out on course!</blockquote>
