Will we be using Puebla or Puebla special? Puebla is extremely low grip, with much higher grip on the curbs which promotes cutting.

I haven't tried the 'special' yet, but the base track sucks.

I quite like the track itself, but putting all 4 wheels off track at every possible opportunity gains you about 4 seconds a lap, depending on the car. The special is identical in layout and looks, it just has a normal tarmac grip (in real life the tarmac was layed really late and broke up during the race so the real drivers drove on the concrete curbs for pretty much the whole track).

What's a good lap time here? Bit of a mickey mouse track IMO.

I actually did not know there was a "special" version. Yes, we would use that one as I hear the normal track was modeled after a deteriorating track surface. Thanks Scott
