Not sure about the tyre model on this car, the initial temps were 10+ degrees higher on the left side and I had to check I wasn't driving an oval car or something  Huh. Apparently the default setup has a wildly inflated LF, which eats away your tyres in no time even if you switch to hards. Softening the springs didn't help either, except it made the car 2 seconds/lap slower. After struggling a lot I set up non-symmetric tyre pressures and managed to make my qualifying setup last the race distance on softs.

Lost a place in the start then tried to stay with the top 4 while swerving to avoid all the spinners. Alix finally caught up to me and after a while blazed past me despite my attempts to block. The rest was just cruising around hoping the tyres would last, which they did.

Fieuw, apparently i was not the only one who was struggling with the setup. Indeed the lefts temps where really high (especially the LF). Still rookie in setup changes  Grin. But happy i did nothing stupid and in line what you did  Smiley. I softened the springs only on the left side, changed the BB almost fully to the rear (travelling in between 50% and 54%). And played with the camber and pressure settings only on the left. Adapting driving style was most of the time the best solution, and it worked really until you make a move and drive 1 righthander at the limit and front left rising to 100+ degr and is gone  Grin.

Therefore i underfueled the car, because i knew i wouldn't push the car (i only missed 1l of fuel).
