In the PROCAR championship Good Year provided customized tyres for each race, modifying compounds, because tracks had very different characteristics and there were not supposed to be any pit stops. For example, at Zolder and Donington they provided extra hard tyres for the front left, as they had to suffer much more, and at Monaco much softers because it was a very short race with more grip needed in the streets.
Now, my purpose is to do exactly the same for our championship, and add little changes to tyres according to our experience and wishes in the races.
So, how did you feel the tyres in last race? I think degradation was OK, but temperatures probably too low for the soft compounds and the hards simply didn't get enough temperature. Do you guys feel the same?
If there is consensus on this, I can provide this week new compunds (Same soft and hard) with the same grip but that warm up a bit better.
I can make them either directly available tyres -replacement of current ones- or an upgrade (As some other mods do, like f.e. CART98)

Same for me, i just chose too low downforce for the race and i struggled with huge oversteer in the last 20 laps
