Hello everyone!
I want to clarify about tyre use. After trying my setup the tyre use for SS was 15%. Initially I assumed that the tyre's life would decrease 15% per lap, but it doesn't work that way.
What is the correct formula? Would it be 15% of the current tyre condition? Like 100*0,85 after first lap, 85*0,85 after second and so on?
What would be the minimum % for the tyres in order to doesn't lose performance?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English

They wear off at a rate of gradually less % after each lap. I'm not someone like Joey Joey so I don't bother to do the nitty-gritty data collecting work, but I recommend taking a look at your own team history's lap-by-lap data for reference. Unfortunately iGP had wiped out all past lap-by-lap data, with the only data being saved in the team history being those races that happened after a major update 2 weeks or so ago.

It is roughly 15% of the current tyre condition. The real result will be somewhat different from the calculated values due to rounding errors and being a continous process and not something calculated at the finish line but you can go by it setting up strategy. Once there's data from last seasons races you can fine tune the results using that.
At about 50% you loose performance and below 20% you suffer horribly. How far you can go depends on the situation and, depending on temperature, the softer the tyre the lower you can go because a super soft with good temperature can loose some performace before a soft will catch it or you can afford to loose some time due to performance before an extra pitstop would pay off.
Then there's always the thing that it's setting up to finishing the best place you can get is what really counts, not to finish in the theoretically shortest race time.
