Here's some footage of my first experience with iRacing's new tyre model - a lap around Road America in the new Chevrolet Impala (NASCAR Class B).
The lap time was 2:12.060. My optimum so far is 2:10.9 but this is the best complete lap I've managed so far. I was just using the standard Road America Advanced setup.
Hey Blake, what are your thoughts on the new tyre model so far?

@LiveMusicBr Hey Felipe!
My first impression is that the tyre works with much less slip angle than before. You need to keep the car straight to be fast.
Also if you slide or lock a brake it overheats the tyre a lot and it is very slippery until it cools back down.

You're either 2s slower than David Williams world record, or 58 seconds faster.
