I know this is obvious by now, but once the fronts go they bite so you have to adjust. I am surprised I was able to make the entire race on one set and ended with 0% tire on my L front. What I did find out, though, was that once the tires got to about 20% they got a bit more grip for about two laps.That was definitely something else. I should of spent more time testing setups for later in the race. The balance of my car started going away pretty quickly. Could not go near the brakes or throttle without it wanting to do a pirouette with about 20 mins left. Tried to stick it out but was just to scared so I pitted. Weird thing is according to the "tire data" from dashboard I should of had a real bad push. I think its time to just forget all about trying to figure out what the tires are doing in this game.
I got that now for sure. Which like I said was completely different then what I was expecting. Normally tires go and they lose bite and you're fighting for grip to turn in. Just gonna have to tighten up the rear more at the start so it comes to me later on.I know this is obvious by now, but once the fronts go they bite so you have to adjust.

That was another fun race. I love these cars and that you really have to let them hang out to be fast. They are real easy (at least for me) to know just where your limit is. Step over that limit and they bite hard, just as it did to me twice in the same spot.
My first hit caused engine and suspension damage and I lost a lot of top speed which was noticeable as I tried to run down Soi. I could get a bit of time on him after my first hit but after the second I had no chance with bad tires and engine.
Honestly, I could race these cars for a year, on every track in R3E and not get tired of them.
Imagine these cars on Bilsterberg...
Yeah I was just doing some preparations as well, it is quite trickyAnybody putting the laps in in preparation ? Need to get to grips with the back end of this Porsche
Raceroom has a leaderboard option which is useful to see what sort of lap times you can expect for a track (albeit with perfect unchanging tyres) which can be accessed via the Single Player menu and then just select desired configis there a live timing or hotlaps leaderboard?
