1st lap steering blues

[ManThatCan]

I'm a (touring car) newbie running a Mission carbon indoor on carpet. Tyres are Sorex 24s with no additive. On my first couple of corners I have no steering, almost like the link has come off, then things settle down and all is well. Any thoughts ? :D

That is purely down to the tyres. There are 2 options, adative will halp a little, tyre warmers will also.

When they settle down it is due to the tyres heating up. I use Sorex 20's and have the same problem, all slicks have the same issue on carpet.

btw, could you please show you name in your sig please - rule 5.

thanks

Tyre temp id down, either run inserts that allow an airgap, so temp builds up pretty quick, or, use additives (if you are allowed)

People I know do burn-outs before the start.

They hold the cars on the carpet and jam open the throttle for a few seconds, they say it makes a difference. I don't know myself as I do off-road.

Hope this helps???
