Has anyone had a chance to practice Miami yet? I did some laps last night and couldn't do any better than 35, 36 secs,. Does that seem normal for that track? Seems very slow to me for the design of this track. It felt like I was pushing a snow plow on the front of my car! Coming off the turns, I was so slow, I thought I was stalling out. At 103% the AI cars went by me like I was parked. At 90% I could pace them, but again, coming off the corner they would whack me so hard , I thought the rear clip would fall off the car! My guess is, the track was not meant for normal settings.
Also, where do we have to enter the pits from? From that long winding back road from turn three, or can we enter from the apron right before the entrance?
Thanks

Yeah i had the same thing. Even at 85% it was a struggle to keep up with them in the exit of turns. Not sure about the pits. Grumpy or Duster will have to answer that one.

The corners seem to be just tight enough so that you can't prevent the car from binding up and lowering the revs. The track definitely wasn't made for normal mode, but that should make it that much more interesting.

For Pitting drivers will be required to use both corner's access roads when entering and exiting pit road.
