Ya, I've noticed that too.
I tried raising the air pressure on the front tires a few pounds...still got hot.

You have 4 choices.
Road Super, Road Normal, Hybrid, Knobbly.

You have 4 choices. Road Super, Road Normal, Hybrid, Knobbly. The solution is FLAT tyres..will never get overheated

hybrid and knobbly are for rallye only. what I meant is; do regular tyres give you a chance to keep the temperatures down but still allow some decent times on the long run?

hybrid and knobbly are for rallye only. I know Xtian, that was just my attempt at a bit of dry humor. I think I bombed. I've been trying Road Super tires @ 170 kPa in front, 165 kPa in rear. After a few (2-3) hard laps, when trying to get a better laptime, they are a bright green...but no red. I need to do a 7 lap run on them to see if my experimenting will pay off.

I didn't even know that F1 still existed ;D
joke apart, maybe it's time they take a new beginning to redefine the whole f1 concept, it turned into a monstruous abomination some time ago already. not enough contestants, not anymore a place for high tech inovation, no competition between drivers, political manoevres, and money like you can grow a green dollar on a tree.

About the first summer race. Good race, but a scandale by the admins in the second race. In the last Safety car procedure they didn´t wait for Scatter, who was on the roof, to be passed and took away the lead from me (which would have let to a secure victory for me under safetycar..hrmff) >: (Allrigth.. I understand! The summer races is supposed to be pure fun and we can do as we please. I can make my own plans for the next race then. Hitting others, driving the wrong way. Take a break in the middle of the race and park the car in the middle of the chicane..chatting about my coming holiday etc...anything. I just want to say., if we have rules, use them. If we don´t like the rules, don´t have them! It doesn´t matter if we have a point free race or not, We still have to race with clear rules and obey them. Otherwise, we can just race on a pick up race and have fun there. So if admins wants more action and don´t like finishing a race under safety car, then take away safetycar from the next races. I think that´s the best..it seems so. If we continue like this, this summer races will be like a farce and we can have better races elsewhere

that's one way to see it.
now mine: I called for safety car when scatter ended up on the roof. scatter pointed out that this meant ending the race under safety car procedure (I wasn't aware of this as I had to rejoin after monitoring a visitor). I took the unilateral decision to resume teh SC procedure one lap earlier so that everybody could have one last fighting lap and more action. I do not think scatter will be mad at me because we did not wait for him as that probably didn't do much difference to his position. I do not consider that this is equal to "stealing" your victory, as the situation was the same for everybody. one last lap, one last chance to gain or lose position. you lost, eh, sorry. that's racing. I take responsability alone for this decision, I did it only to make the evening as exciting as possible for everybody. sorry if it created frustration.

And indeed you should have won the race.. Just know that if it was a "normal" race you would have won it and carried the tittle of winner.. But another lesson learned indeed. Thank you for pointing this out. @ Senna: if you don't race it can't be you ... ;D ;D

But if you wish to dump it on me, go ahead. Did you have money riding on this race or something?
