Any tips for car setup? Looks like it’s going to be hot this weekend.

Another thing you can try is to limit your exposure a bit. Go out and rehearse the TT, then take a cool down lap, and a slow run through the hot pit, then back out and do it again.....rinse, repeat.

That’s a good idea. Right now it looks like Friday will be ok. Saturday afternoon will be full sun and 94F.
