+1

with proper air pressure inside the tyre,is impossible to flex so much at a fwdrive car the rear tyre.if it is with some psi less is possible.To overheat in a fwd the rear tyres is very difficult,you must have choose wrong tyre,or extreme lesser air pressure.

Flodin did OK. Correct me if I'm wrong but he's not used to high revs cars. He these conditions, he couldn't challenge the fastest drivers.

only one reason i can see for a tyre stretch like that....if at previous meters at the cut there was a diiferent higher level of ground and at the time of photo it was something like a landing from a small jump.Sorry can t explain it with my english level grrrr!!



edit also for me Foldin was good for Ypres.Was expecting less.

There's no jump but the cut is kicking a bit and also the rear was sliding partly.

I understand about gear ratios etc, but thats quite disappointing really!

I think I understand. The car is shifting it's weight, so the unloaded left side is suddenly becoming loaded and it puts extra force into the tyres.
