A question about my car setup ....

I have been driving mostly FBM BL1 , and could never get into the 1.14's until today. I made some modifications to a setup someone sent me and the balance improved for me greatly.

I have noticed however that when racing, after about half a lap, puffs of smoke appear in my mirror. It appears to be coming from the right hand side of the car. Don't think it is particularly slowing me down but, but is there something in the setup I should be looking at ??

thanks

I think you've flatspotted your right front tyre. At setup should be nothing wrong.

This problem could be solved by braking a lot smoother, so you are faster on endurance races (or races with more than 5 laps). If this doesn't bring anything, you can adjust less brake force and the brake balance more to the back.

yeah, a hot flat spot, i get when 90* drifting.

Thanks guys - I think you are right. I watched carerfully tonight when I was racing and it started immediately after heavy braking.
