Indeed, it's been incredibly hot.... I look very pink this morning :-(

I assume the difference between the tracks in Europe and other hot countries is that the difference between the winter and summer temps? In winter it hits about -20 (or less), and it summer it's 35+, so the track has to be able to deal with both. But I'm just guessing.
