PSGL F1 23 – PC: Season 34 Pre-Season Round 2 Texas Results.

PSGL Round 2 is here with the technical track COTA (Circuit of the Americas).

PSGL (Premier Sim Gaming Leagues) is back with round 2 and is at one of the three United States tracks COTA which is in Texas. COTA is a nice mix of long straights, fast sweeping corners and slow corners. This makes the track very technical but also adds lots of overtaking zones so bad qualifying positions are easily recoverable. The first corner is a sharp left-hand turn after an uphill ascent which makes it very tough to see the apex but also gives the car more downforce allowing the tyres to push into the ground giving you more grip around the corner. With 20 cars also trying to take the corner on lap 1 there is bound to be some contact in this corner as it is so tight. This means drivers can easily lose and gain positions here. This track will make the tyres suffer so a good strategy needs to be in place if the drivers have hope of success here.
