I also posted this in the race tech section.....thought I would give the general one a try.
So, Just had the first race of the year and it went like hell. The car runs well for about two laps and then looses a bit of power. Feels like it drops maybe 15 or 20 horsepower. Anyone have any idea about this. It is extreamly frustrating to pass 9 cars on the start (two wheels off in the grass down the straightaround corner one), pull out a 4 second lead only to get passed all back but one. It feels stong for about two laps or so, then power tappers off. Then when it cools off after a qualifying or practice, it is fine for two laps again. I also noticed it seems to bog a bit under high load corners. maybe that has something to do with it, I dont know.
Any help would be greatly apperciated cause I am pretty frustrated about this one. thanks everyone!
