After the GT3 N. America race last night at Kyalami, a number of the participants noted how the temperature change with the 12X time factor resulted in unmanageable tire pressures no matter where you set the pressures for the start. Most were in the 26 psi range at the 0300 start with temps of 10C but the temps rapidly climbed and at halfway we were in the 28's and by the end of the race some hit 29 psi...the cars are near undriveable for the second half of the race. The majority of us suggested that a 6X time factor would do the trick or forcing a tire change in the pit stop. Either one would greatly improve the situation and hopefully, draw a few more into the more realistic racing conditions. Food for thought. We do appreciate the chance to race ACC with SRS and hope that more interest will be generated with better race conditions.
