AC GT3 (Blancpain Sprint) @ Paul Ricard Blancpain - Thursday 23rd June 2016

Are tire temps still a problem with the McLarens, every time their tires would over heat like crazy the rears especially which gave out right at the end of the straight.

Maybe ill take work off for this race miss Paul Riccardo

 

[El-ahrairah]

Now thaaats commitment.

Dunno, Paul Ricard doesn't strike me as a track where tire temps would be a problem.

I think that was pre 1.5 issue (pre 1.1 maybe), where tires would overheat after long straights, it has been fixed a long time ago.

In the triple fast right hand corners after Mistral straight it's normal to have high temps on left tyres.
Yesterday I tested with the R8 and particulary the rear was quite hot (near 100°) if the I made the car slided too much on throttle after these corners.
I remember that same thing was happening with the BMW M235i, though at the front left because it's a more understeery car.

I saw lots of people use Hard tires on that car lately.

At default track conditions (26°) and 30 minutes stints, I think that the mediums are still the better compromise. Even with a slightly overheated rear left out from the double right "Beausset" corners, there is enough time to let it stabilize in the following left corners and the pit straight, though sacrificing a little traction out of the last corner.

EDIT: I have a setup from a fine Finish national (of whom we all know) which I have been tweaking for a couple of months and the car is stunning.
