Fast all the time.

Ok. Seems like if SH are very fast the same should apply for CS

It's more of the soft part that comes into play rather than the comfort/sport aspect. We had to use normal wear on sports soft to counter how quickly they wear for the 15 minute races. The sports mediums wore fine on our usual fast setting and the sports hards are durable enough that even with the very fast setting they wear just fine. So based off that, comfort softs would need to be brought down to a normal tire wear setting, if any adjustment were to be made at all.

^ That seems confusing.

Here is what we saw with the 15 minute races last night:

Sports soft tires - Normal wear setting gets you to around 8's on a heavy car
Sports medium tires - Fast wear setting gets you to around 8 or 9 on a heavy car
Sports hard tires - Very fast wear gets you barely into the 9's on a heavy car

Our fast tire wear setting had been making the sports soft tires wear into the 7's and 6's (and even 5's in the rear of @Matt Sierras BTR this Tuesday). Hence our proposal to use these new tire wear settings according to tire compound.

So @kendawg do you feel like you missed out on racing? Watching your team beat up on a high school team had to make you feel a little ashamed and dirty.

Not at all. Made the beer go down even better. Enjoyed all 56 points.

@jobyone
Cars are entered but I didn't save the last race so I only have a few cars from memory.

 

[Kgffy]

I used Nsx type r 02 last race, which I think maybe needs a couple pp higher, the other nsx's are probably good at their pp

 

[tezgm99]

Got myself a better chair for next time
