COTA Race weekend...

[madvlad]

Marquez is looking really comfortable and strong on this track so far during practices, a lot of teams seem to be having problems with traction so far. Marquez had a crazy slide and tire hop on turn 20 on the 2nd practice that he almost lost control of.

We'll see how qualifiers go tomorrow and see how teams approach the traction issues. Can't wait for Sunday :D :devious:

:yes: have had it pulled up on my work pc all morning... on FP3 Lorenzo almost highsided real bad there, caught it at the last moment... Someone is going to crash this race for sure, just the lack of traction is messing riders up.

I wish I was there. What an amazing facility. I'd love to ride it
