Jack look at this info http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/11/03/2013-abu-dhabi-grand-prix-tyre-strategies-and-pit-stops/
Paul di Resta Soft 20 laps & med 35 laps one stop race why can we not do crazy strategies like that?

Edit - Forgot about fuel hehe how big is our tanks? 20 laps soft 78L 35 laps meds 140L

But if tyre and fuel gets too realistic part of the fun will be lost. Anything other than 100% races will simply turn into no stop sprint races?

Also the 5/6 stop races are what stops procession racing?

The whole idea of having harder tyres is so you can still be going while the other person is pitting. 

If the hard tyre had enough speed and durability to last for you to make your first stop as the other guy is making his second, it would be perfect

Have lost myself here ss should last 1/4 of that of the hard tyres soft 2/4 med 3/4
ss should be on 4th set tyres and half way through them 3 stops when hards are making 1st stop does that make sense?

wouldn't and shouldn't happen each race distance should have it's own tyre wear levels
maximum number of pit stops in a race should be 4-5 not what we have 6-7 or 7-8 :) only time you should be in the pits 5 times is if you have a problem or contact ;)

It's not something that can be changed over night, it's not as simple as just lowering ss they would have to sit down and re-write tyres for each track. 19 tracks 4 different compounds to recalculate

inters & wets - 4 stops inters & 3 stop wets

jus make people use all 4 tyres in a race over 100 percent be intrestin then

i would support this if it was an option for the league manager to set for the league and not a requirement for the whole game

It would be alos cool to get randome punctures, like on full psuh on SS just there is a small chance and then much MUCH less on slowest H

Problem is, that it is awfully difficult to balance such things.
If punishment is too heavy/happens too often, it might lead to everyone using just PL1.

on average
SS is 1.500 seconds faster than H.
SS is 1.000 seconds faster than M.
SS is 0.500 seconds faster than S.

S is 0.500 seconds faster than M.
S is 1.000 seconds faster than H.

M is 0.500 seconds faster than H.

The biggest problem with the hard tyre is you can only use push 3 for 4-5 laps before they start to overheat this should be changed to push 4 to make them more competitive.

Likes of me that is using two compounds in a race you can easily see that the other (prime) compound you are using is in too low of a push level to be of any competition to the first (option) compound you where using.
There must be some way to make a better balance in the tyres it's only 0.1 more fuel on the odd track, some tracks the option & prime tyre are same fuel usage so it's the push level of the slower compound that is the problem not the fuel.

Is it possible to set the operating range of the tyres, to force managers to take care of them?
SS PL1 too cold, SS PL2 too warm
S PL 2 too cold, S PL3 too warm
M PL3 too cold, M PL4 too warm
H PL4 too cold, H PL5 too warm
W PL1 too cold, W PL2 too warm
I PL2 too cold, I PL3 too warm

Maybe, if you keep tyres on high heats for tool ong, you get a puncture even if you still have some wear left?

I agree with James Young make the super softs less grippy and the hards more grippy.

What about making tyre wear increase for softer compounds?

No!!!!!!

13-15 laps on supers
18-20 laps on softs
23-25 laps on meds
28-30 laps on hards

I want to be able to do more laps not less 2 stop races like F1 ;)

Easy task turn current hards into supers and make new soft, med & hard tyres :D

No, make it so every race has more stops than starts, though to be fair every race only has 1 start :(

Is this 20Litres or 20Laps?

If it is litres means med tyres are only lasting 5 laps :( British gp is 4L per lap well 3.9L on supers lol

In the picture you can clearly see :
- Start, Pit 1, Pit 2  >  3 stints
- Pit stops > 2

And in that another pic :

British (100%) > 60 laps

What is your conclusion ?
20 Laps ;)

One is computer one is Phone.
Jack might of been doing 15Lap race on his fone (25%) where as the person on computer was doing full race ;)
Assumption is the mother of all pluck ups :P
Assuming it's the same race should it not in fact say fuel 80 for 20laps instead of fuel 20?

All messing about put to one side. In my experience of the British gp if you fuel the car with the exec fuel auto pit brings you in one lap early, turning off auto pit to do the full stint you run out of fuel beside your pit box. This is why I'm asking this stupid question is it 20litres or 20 laps
