I don't know if you were using additive or they just weren't warm enough but i don't believe for a second you would have been quicker on those then Minipins
Nick, you must have saw my car in round one, it wasn't the foams that were shocking on my car it was my driving In the first round of qualifying I was awful but in the two practice runs with the car I drove error free. The first practice was on foams and the car was awesome on the slippy stuff and ok on the small amount of carpet that mattered. The second practice was on pins and the car was slightly better on the rug but absolutely cack on the slippy stuff and so I opted for the foams as they were easily quicker (you still had to drive good). In the end it doesn't matter as I still had a laugh and my quickest run of the day was 2 seconds shy of a 12 lapper ........ on yellow minispikes
