It was so cold in this race they had to put card board on the entire front of the radiator just to get the engine up to operating range. Typically start tires at 22 going up to 28-30......but pressure only when up 1 degree and ran two tires off the bead.
Damn. That's neck stretching force there. If you had 1.9g in the corner, you should have seen 2.2+ or more (2.5?) under braking. Nice grip levels!
