When I that name I was like "shit shit so many people are gonna try and sign up because it's the 'Kyoto xxx'". But then I saw license applications were closed and all was right in the world.
lol It just would be insane to have new entries for THE LAST race plus the thing you said: NDR + Oval + the name "Kyoto XXX" could have resulted in something like 50 cars trying to qualify
btw please be aware that the server will be renamed in a few days to "ndr|kyoto 250" as it is the same server, and that there are from time to time the Kyoto 250 practice sessions...
R1s will be always hot and will be a bit slower on oval... I use the WR setup with R1s, that's all.
It's about drafting and battling with someone anyway. Once you are left alone and you are not in the lead, you usually don't have much chance, but matters to single situation anyway.
If u still need a setup let me know I will send you one. Don't worry too much about R1's overheating here as the corners are quite gentle so they shouldn't take too much from the tyres. Also if you haven't already, make sure the set you are using has the tyre pressures set to max (on the right atleast) as this will help keep the tyres cool.
