    Tyre wear is actually great on this track. I finished 30 laps last night with 78% left on FL.

    Jeez, I thought I was the only one lol. Don't feel so bad now. I tried Spidey's suggested setup and honestly I can't get any pace out of it. The diff felt wrong for me among other things, I just couldn't keep it on the road at any pace.

    Anyway, point is if you have a setup that you are comfortable with then stick with it.

    did you manage this in the actual race though? my FL was down to 0 by lap 20 (based on the on-screen tyre indicator not pdas. unless pdash is buggy, would be impressed if you were still left with ~70% on FL. my rears were 90% left though, so something strange/buggy going on there?

    also do the in-game tyre wear indicator match pdash or are they different slightly?

    Finished the race on 84% FL. That was indicated by PCar Dash, looked about the same on the screen as well. Everyone's different with their driving style mate, slow in and fast out off the apex helps a lot.

    My fl was about 20% on the tyre gauge (no fancy apps here) but my pressures were very low. 1.45, 1.37, 1.50 and 1.47

    I kept it on the road, just, it just was a tad slow unfortunately to run with Beau, fastboy and nj.
    Ahh if only no-tune was a viable option in this game, silly bugs!

    Ohh well, I know I have a good dry set up so bring on next round!

    Yeah I found the rear heated up way too quickly for me whereas my setup was the other way around in that you had to drive it hard to keep the temps up. Just goes to show how a few subtle changes in driving style or lines can make a lot of difference as Spidey obviously done well with this setup last night. He finished his race nearly 23s faster than I did.

    F/L: 1.34 F/R: 1.28
    R/L: 1.38 (for qualy) 1.42 (for race) R/R: 1.37 (qualy) 1.40 (race).

    My on screen tyre deg was almost all gone for front left but pCARS dash app had the front left at around 68% left.

    Last nights race had differing track temps also, so my tyres were hot for the first stint, max'd rear of 117 degrees coming out of last corner but then sat perfect during the middle storm stint with all tyres staying "green colour" and temps above the 80's.

    I had high temp on my rears but mainly found that due to shifting down to quickly and not heel toeing properly causing the engine to break the car which just locked the rears up everytime i shifted down, got that under control chasing beau but when i was just in the zone not looking at the app they would go up to 140 to 150
