The plan will be to run a pre-season on the 13th, I've been quite busy at work but when I get a moment this week I will put together a thread for the pre-season races, there will be 3 races in one night but unlike the season 3 format we will have 3 qualifying sessions too. So it may run on a bit longer than usual. I'll also get a season 3 thread up soon so you'll have plenty of time to read up on the new format and raise any questions so we can iron any bugs out

Looks like tyre wear has been dramatically increased for Racing Softs. Conserving the tyres is now more important than ever.
Also it now looks like a race with all compounds could now be fair as it appears that Softs are now wear quicker than Hards.

Yes, seems to be, I'll try this afternoon the Nurb24H we will see
we have to use soft racing tyres for our race, maybe now we have to do 2 stops or 3 at NURB24H

Sounds good Soopa
Very interesting about this tire wear change I'm seeing , sigh more headaches for me and tuning now.
Looks like those sprint races in season 3 might have a 1 pit stop occasionally depending on the track.
Or if Soopa brings in the medium tire we might start using that tire a bit more than the soft.

Soopa we have to figure out something for friday, just a few minutes ago me and allascato did a practise session in the nurb 24H. Soft tyres are gone during lap 2 (in the middle) will be very very very hard to make it (almost impossibile). I could not finish the second lap every time I tried. So I switched to hard racing and we can make at MOST 3 laps with a fastest lap of around 8:30
What will we do?
Please Soopa make some laps to understand

The new tyre wear levels are insane. They've got the fundamentals right but they just need to make every tyre last two or three times longer than what they currently do. Looking like a 7 stopper for me

maybe for next season we can start thinking of using Sports Tyres Soft ??

I'm sure sports tires would be even worse , next season won't be that bad because it will be shorter sprint races.
I think we will have to bring in a use any tire you desire rule or use racing mediums.
Since this update if you ever drove on racing hards before , they feel a bit better/faster now . Still easy to lose the rear but it seems with this update the performance level with the tires is a bit more even across the board.
Racing mediums will become the new racing soft it seems.
Racing soft may only be used for qualy or the end of a race for a flying stint .
Just my thoughts so far.

Its a good job you guys have tested the new tyre wear, I haven't even downloaded the update yet! 
Sounds like everyone on racing hards is gonna be the way to go, whatever compound we go with we should all be on the same, ideally we want 1 or 2 stop strategies as usual.

Yes it looks like the days of racing softs are long gone .
These tires have spoiled us in reality but our work will be cut out for us next season to get used to medium and possibly hard tires . Cars will have to be setup different.
On a positive note the soft tires will and can still be effective in the sprint race format for season 3.
Ill wait for Soopas decision for season 3 to let us know which racing compounds will be allowed , hopefully all 3 will be allowed and strategies will be interesting .
