Tyre strategy

Hi,

I've just completed my first race and it was very exciting! Finished second but the guy who finished first was only 6 seconds ahead of me :) One question I have, I was the only guy in the race to run a hard tyre stint and I reckon it cost me the win. Is that a league option or do no leagues require both tyres to be used? 

The search is a wonderful help but anyway i'll give you the answer.
There are no Tyre rules as in the real F1 so you can drive in every league only with softs or only with hards or whatever you like more.

Sorry, but the only answers were months and months old, and a lot of the buzz seemed to be about new patches, so I thought it would be preferable to get an answer in the context of when I am actually playing. Unless you can point me to a fairly recent answer to this question that I overlooked?

Do you know if there are any plans to implement required tyre changes or are the makers deliberately not making this match F1 rules?

EDIT: I did search so please don't tell me all about how wonderful the search function is, I also searched the site using google, as many of these forums search tools actually tend to be a lot less than wonderful.

Yeah don't worry he just likes to tell people to use search.

As far as i know there's isn't a plan to change it but your best bet is experience, see how each tyre works on each track and after a while you'll have a good idea which one to go for. Sometimes hard tyres can be faster because you can push more.
