Strike that, reverse it. R1/R3 unless you enjoy having your throat torn out and life's blood drained.

hadn't tried that...



:dunno

i just noticed me losing rear tires REAL FAST.  which caused my car to "drfit" alot thru corners.  which wore my front tires out too...  two laps (warm up lap and Lap 1) and I was half a tire all around...    I must admit I usually have problems with MR vehicles other than Ferrari - but I liked the Spyker...   For example, I have no control whatsoever in the Lotus Elise - but I felt fairly stable - if I controlled my throttle - in this little Dutch monster.  (and I wasn't even wearing my wooden shoes.  yet...)

when i put less tires in the rear (and controlled my throttle) I was able to extend the wear.  grippy tires were great going into turns (with throttle under control) and I used the R1s to push the car down the straights. 

another reason i did this was tire temp.  As R3s it seemed the rear were heated up out the box (which increased their wear) but the front had to warm for a lap.  it was easier to warm up R3s in the front which kept that more balanced as well.   of course, YMMV...

To be honest I haven't seen a need for tire split since prologue.

I was thinking of a couple of prologue Lotus tunes that ran R1/R3. Because with R3/R3 the front had too much grip and the rear would come right around.

If it works for you Charlie then use it.

Will the Grato be open tonight. I want to lose some blood in the Spyker after SHOSHO.

Don't forget tires factored into pp in 5P; being able to have less tire at one end helped you under the hood.

Charlie y u no use letters to describe tires: R-h, R-m, R-s makes 84.39% more sense than R1/R3

r1, r2, r3?? 

    just seems more intuitive than rh, rm, rs...

Charlie,  I've been looking for that Spyker ever since I read that we are going to need one for an event in the near future.  Just to be safe, would you mind sending me one?

Thanks!

I had forgotten about the tires and pp thing.

I can send you one tonight. Just let me know.

RE: tire wear

though i noticed no diff in seasonals; [/IMG]

Possibly because tire wear in seasonals is 'off' ...

Thought that was time trials not all seasonals?

If my clock resets at 7pm, I can send one then...  (sent one out late last night to hellrider and am stuck till the clock resets)

I don't remember a seasonal with tire wear 'on'.

Using terms not found in the game is more intuitive?

I can send it before 7 although 7 your time is 5 my time and I can't send it before 5 because I will not be home then.

Oh my     Back to square one? I did a drunken 2'05 at Suzuka last night in the one I can send if that helps. 

[Boston77Bruins]

I'll be grateful to whomever sends one. 

A drunkin' 2.05 eh?  Sweet, I'll be able to pull a drunkin' 2.15.

See you gents tonight.

[clacksman]

Send limit is still hard at 7PM eastern; I sent two ticket cards about 10 total minutes apart on either side of 7PM.

Has any one else noticed the Christmas music playing in the intro screen?
