I look forward to crying to Brett about how Ferg hit me off the track

Ok (goes without saying to buy the silver car )
Race you soon.

 

[Ellis]

I was in a lobby with Ferg and a few other randomers and the connection seemed fairly reasonable! I reckon fingers crossed I might stick the duration of the race!

 

[lozzy1234567890]

I'm expecting to see a lot of complaints after the race about everyones second set of tyres XD

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Well until the bug is erased, logically should we ditch the 2 compound rule?

Also @berty1979 , I'm around tonight till 8.30 if you want.

Isn't the problem the tyre wear? Rather than type of tyre?

Tomorrow as arranged earlier m8

Entersandman is the graphics guy. He will get you up there before race 1. I'll invite you to practice, tonight I can do 630- 8 pm GMT.

Your lap times will probably be 2 seconds a lap slower after you've pitted.

Ok thanks, I'm guessing it affects everyone the same?
Do you know if the tyre wear remain consistent after the first pit?

Should affect everyone the same, and I don't know about tyre wear, it's meant to be worse, but I haven't tested it so don't know how much worse. There's also meant to be a fix for it, which I haven't tested yet either, and that's if you put tyre wear on fast or very fast.

I'll look into it, thanks for the info.

 

[iAnderton]

Maybe until the tyre issues are sorted we use same tyres for each stint?

 

[KingSakery]

Why ??
Everybody suffers from it => why not leave it this way ??

For me it´s just adapting to a situation.

 

[berty1979]

I believe that it affects all compounds and that it is the same for everyone so we will run according to the rules and see how it goes. I'll do a test run tonight under race conditions and see what happens. I'll post results here.

Was having a quick run around in free run, and did the odd stop here and there and my times didn't seem to be affected, going to do a proper test now.

EDIT: Ran a 10 lap race, pitted at the end of lap 5, my lap times weren't affected at all and I didn't see any noticeable change in tyre wear either.

Then decided to go out in free run and change to mediums in the pits, came straight out and went 0.05 faster than I did on softs...

 

[ETID]

I will be on at 6:30 tonight then, hopefully nothing pops up!
