Soil when dry

Dry hardpack turns hard, slick and dusty - little grip reserve, especially on corner exit.

Soil after rain

After rain a greasy film forms on the hard base - very slippery until the surface dries.

Setup tendencyHarder against bottomingMore stableMore traction

Macotera Raceway lies in Torres de la Alameda east of Madrid. The contact listed on mxcircuit.es is Hector, under the handle Mosqui; the directory describes a long, fast natural-style course on hard ground with continuous climbs and descents, double sections and tabletops. The site has a start gate and an irrigation system plus toilets and a bar; there is no wash bay and no timing, and a photographer is only occasionally present. Practice costs 20 euros. Opening days vary, and the directory explicitly says you should ask before visiting. The track is rated there at 4.1 out of 5 stars from 68 responses. A track length is not publicly documented. Hard, natural ground with constant ups and downs means you build speed quickly, but the front tyre finds little edge on a surface polished smooth, especially where a descent runs flat into a corner. If the front then feels vague and gives you no feedback, top of our cause list is too much front tyre pressure - lower it so the contact patch grows and the tyre bites again.
