Grats to Art on a deserved championship with some very fast performances on all tracks.
Hot front tyres?, even tyres into the green range at the front would be a novelty!!! i rarely even get the fronts out of the dark blue range in any mod unless I have made an horrendous mistake somewhere or bent the steering/suspension.
Now if you want to talk about rear tyre temps...........I can write a thesis on the infra red range of rear tyre rubber and how it affects handling. I actually does not affect handling so much as remove it altogether!!!
Which is exactly what happened to me at Brands Hatch last night. I paid the price for pushing too hard and too early.
As to the locking of the inside tyre Art, my highly trained pit crew reckon it could be
partially related to roll bar settings. If the physics in GPL correctly mimic real life, the roll bars could be allowing too much weight to transfer across to the outside wheel. Roll bars are there to control the natural inclination of the car to place all of its weight on the outside wheel at a corner and attempt to keep the pressure upon the inside wheel by mechanical means.
I wonder if you run very soft or very stiff rollbar values. But as with all things related to setup in GPL no setup value works alone, each setting's effect is modified or accentuated by the value of other parameters in the setup and all we try to do is find the sweet spot that suits us.
Given your pace at most tracks, which is often close to WR pace I suspect that you are approaching the event horizon of setups, beyond which you will not spin off at a corner but vanish into a black hole of your own making.
Just my considered opinions......I could of course be wrong and talking total bu**sh*t
