That would not have gone well with the state of my current tires.

I, erm, may have tracked some dirt onto the track the previous day

How was the new alignment?

Tough to say - since my PSS'es are pretty much dying out there. The rear felt wobbly on turn 8 through 9 but that's likely due to poor entry on turn 7 at DDT. I remember distinctly being able to go WOT through 8 all the way through 9 which actually settles the car but I found the tires never quite grippy enough.

It was a super hot day on Saturday and after about 4-5 laps the tires just had enough. After my little stunt in the video, I kicked myself off.

I'm not sure if I like the slight toe out - it exacerbates turn 7 but I didn't find it a problem elsewhere. I am 99% sure that my stunt on turn 14 is due to excessive trail braking (I was going in nearly 10-15kmh faster than the previous lap - hellbent on beating my previous time) as opposed to the slightly less toe-in.

I'm going to have to retire the PSS from track duty and switch to something more dedicated if I am serious about beating my previous best of 1:46.5 which was done on fresh PSS.
