Prior to the repaving, T8 used to be quite slippery, but will at the same time scallop my tires...

Unfortunately I don't have a comparison as to what it used to be, but it was great grip in the dry, however when it got wet the water didn't shed as fast as the rest of the track. They were stressing the importance of coming through turn 7-8 very fast, as it would totally determine what your front straight would feel like. The couple times I nailed it through there I hit the rev limiter in 4th because I got faster than I thought I could even get haha. Bombing in towards the wall in turn one @6700 rpms in 4th gear is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

3a/b was my favourite with the huge drop in. It felt similar to skating a steep bowl, but in a car.
