Well I'm usually light on tires and survived 20mins no probs, no fade, I was sliding around quite a bit too, as for 40 mins, I'm not sure, I'm gonna risk it. I guess it depends on how hard you are on em. Also I don't think they are "Soft" I think they are monsoon, ie a different tread, I'm recounting something Gizmo said ages ago, and is not necessarily remembered right tho  |

Well I'm going for mediums on the back anyway. I did this last week and they lasted well but the softs on the front were starting to go causing understeer. I wouldn't like to have to find out how difficult it would be to get 600 bhp down on worn softs in the rain  Anyone talking laptimes yet ?  |

1.5?
I thought we were sticking with 1.4?
I'm looking at the race announcements for GT and NGT sprint, but there is no mention, what version?

Well I did a few laps and it was farkin rediculous.. too much oversteer, lot of short shifting, lot of power!! Didn't really put a good time in but got a setup to work on tomorrow. I'll do a server around 7pm tomorrow with 1.4 and usual password..

The league is running 1.4 for all GTR events. We will make sure everyone knows if/when that changes. |

Did a bit of practice/testing last night, bloody hard work. F550 : Forget it, nightmare in the wet, hats off to anyone who manages to be competetive in it. Saleen : Easy to drive, 2:23 in race trim but tyres die after about 10 laps. Lister : Again easy to drive in comparison to the 550, 2:24, less tyre wear than saleen. So its a field of Listers for tonights race  |

Not a problem mate, softs on the front and hards on the rear, I dont have an option for medium wets, do you ? As for the times, well i'm hoping to be competetive but I fully expect a few guys to be 2 or 3 seconds faster. My biggest danger is spinning off on the first 2 laps with cold tyres, really twitchy stuff. After that the car seems ok until the tyres start to go off towards the end, need to be careful at this stage as you dont really get any warning before the rear lets go. Should be an interesting race providing everyone survives the first lap. |
