You haven't seen me warm up my tires. It is very difficult for me to get mine warm and I get to the point of sliding the rear end around (which I don't dare do at a faster speed) That and a combination of lots of brake. Does it also help me for the first few laps to avoid traffic. Yup. Just icing on the cake!! I don't block people if they want to get by. Does it give me an advantage? You bet!! Why wouldn't I take advantage of it???



And I may get to grid early but I have NEVER been in the way.

Ah yes. The infamous Cefelo/Foley incident............ That was a shit storm!!
