Hello Javier, grip of the track on the first day loose, and more and more grip as passing day, but this time I think we will have more heat ....

lol,

how can you discuss about grip of a track 4 month before the races.

grip is like exchange rates. it varies from day to day, even from hour to hour. it depends on humidity, temperature and and and.....

cheers,
Mike

Sorry:
I know that normal grip changes but I question about type o track, because I dont know that.
I only know DS tracks in Spain and the Racefun Track in Denmark and DPM track in Franfurt.

hi,

well compared to the dpm track in frankfurt the mtt has less grip. the track surface is much smoother. dpm track is like sanding paper (you know what I mean). during the last worlds, it took a long time to get "that" grip. I race my cars always in a kinda drift setup. I like drifting instead of racing on the edge. but the 430 ferrari's have a lower center of gravity, so I think if you balance your car well the grip should be ok. it's better to be prepared and you know how to reduce grip instead of trying to get more grip when you don't have any at all.

cheers,
mike
