Wow, I've missed quite a discussion while I was on my father's day weekend bender!
Just to set things straight, I enjoy switching up the tire compounds. In general I try to limit lower HP cars to Sports Softs and Higher HP cars to Race Hard. In extreme cases, such as actual race cars like GT500, I opt for Race Softs.
I have a few reasons why I like to do this and I have no problem outlining them for you guys.
- I feel that Race Soft tires are overkill on a good chunk of the cars we race.
- I feel using different compounds adds unique challenges to an event. I always try to make the event challenging and fun and sometimes the line is very fine.
- I feel that my sense of verisimilitude is heightened when using tires that the real life cars would probably or actually use.
- I feel that using different compounds actually helps a lot of gamers learn how to drive better. I know I've become a better racer since I started this series and I feel the different compounds have helped.
- This league is all about variety. You can jump into any old open lobby and know that most of the races will be using Race Softs. Participating in this league means you must be prepared for a different scenario every week.
Anyway those are my 2cents on the subject. As for this weeks race, ITOSS has said he prefer's Race Softs so its no big deal to switch. In the future though, make sure to let me know during voting if you want to change a suggestion.
And for a quick heads up, please be aware that we will most likely not be using Race Softs every week. If that doesn't fit what you're looking for I'm sure you can find another group that will fit what you want better and I apologize for not being able to meet your needs.
Another thing to remember guys is the goal of this group is fun and respect. Arguing whether certain tires are "crap" or whose style of play is more fun or better is a pointless waste of time that detracts from our goals. I'm sure you guys can find a much better thread to argue about stuff like that somewhere
