I think clay is more better than carpet. - Change my mind.
Yes clay is lower traction, your cars get somewhat dusty/dirty. But there is more prep. And with that prep, I feel like your actually racing. Not to mention the formed dirt jumps make it more offroad style. As with carpet, there is constant high traction, no tire prep, but your cars stay nice and clean for the most part. Carpet is only known for offroad due to the ramps/jumps, as the actual carpet is on a flat surface. any comments on that? Anyone agree or disagree?
When I am talking about "prep" I am more talking about tire prep. Its mostly cleaning tires and re-applying traction compound after every run/race. But tuning can also be considered as prep. For tuning id like to do it before the race night actually starts, as its pretty hard to wrench while racing is happening (ie like if you have to marshall, ect)
