Hi. Today i tried to test on Trenton speedway with last patch and i reveal some problem on the main straight. If you can go quite close to the wall on the right side there maybe is bad positioning of the kerb or something like that because it works like magnets which pull the car into the wall so it can be a little bit dangerous. I thinks that without the patch there was not problem. Can you please check it?? Thanks

Not a patch issue. This is a minor quirk we have known about for a while. The tires can sink into the wall a little bit on the straight. Same thing can happen in the short chutes at IMS. Best advice is to exercise caution when exiting turn 5 and don't graze the wall.

Yeah the Wall sucks you in and then spits you out.
I'm more concerned about the wall on he inside of the dogleg, it's pretty much the same color as the track, I've inadvertently turned into it a few times in practice.

Now at Trenton as the track is not so fast as the Texas i dont see the major differencies between quali boost and 90 inch race boost. On one lap only 0,2s max. Maybe i will do any progress untill Sunday.

I'd appreciate if a couple of you guys would blow their engines @ 90 inches
Alberto will probably correct me but I don't think there's much difference in engine life between boost levels except for the qualifying engine. Lower boost may make coming out of turn 2 a bit easier though.

That's true, less speed will mean less lap time difference between say, 90 and 87.5 inches of boost. However, it may make significant difference in the handling of a car and how it suits you as a driver.
For example, I find the Parnelli handles better for me with 90 inches of boost, because I tend to practice "right foot steering" -- meaning I apply more throttle to induce oversteer and get the trajectory I want on corner exit. With 87.5 inches of boost, it is harder for me to do that, so I end up pushing into the wall more. So I favor 90 inches of boost. Hope that is insightful.

The thing that will definitely hurt the engines or outright blow them is going over 9000 revs.

Thought at first you guys (and lady) had only used race boost so far
