I've heard good things about FSR, so hopefully everyone will cooperate.

I ran in both red and black at the Zone 2 event in March. I am trying not to come across as being too negative but black had issues. The group had a lot of cars and several cars seemingly refused to give passing signals. Painful to say, but I saw the same train of cars in several run sessions. I have some video where there were 5-6 car trains for 6 laps in the row, so basically half the session...... Moreover, the real concern was the resulting aggressive driving. A lot of drivers were getting frustrated, piling up in corners, weaving back and forth and ultimately passing without signals. Same old story, a "group of drivers" running at a similar pace not giving way to faster cars that are stuck behind them.

Red on the other hand was the complete opposite. Early and predictable passing signals even when you approached a group drivers that you know were working hard to stay with each other. Great flow with a lot of cars.
