Abarth+Blackwood: rear tire temps

Post by Fernando Zart Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:33 am

Hi guys, not sure if I should post this on the "setup" forum, but I cannot get my rear tires around 80C in Blackwood, no matter what. Front tires are ok, but rear seldom go above 50C, even drifting on curves. I'm using the lowest pressure possible (18psi), and tried with rear susp rigid/soft with little results.
Any hint?

the 500 is a front wheel drive, and this is a good reason why the rear tires are struggling to keep warm. probably the long straight lowers even more the temperature of the rear tires.
