Tyre or performance BUG?

Big problem is we dont know if offline teams tyres are overheating or stone cold there is currently no way of knowing. There might be a bug in system that keeps them in optimal operating range no body knows.

If hard tyres in monaco can do a 1:24 with DRS why would it not be possible for med tyres to do 1:23 with DRS?

Looking at results his fastest time are 1:25 & 1:26 yours is 1:21 & 1:23 so where are you getting this 0.6 slower than SS

I dont know if it is possible for you to see the times of that race. However, I will post the lap times below.

P.Papadopoulos
Lap 60: Supersoft tyres - 1.25.987 - 47% Tyre life - 6.9 Litres of fuel

M.Smith
Lap 60: Supersoft tyres - 1.25.714 - 47% Tyre life - 6.9 Litres of fuel

L.Jones
Lap 59: Medium Tyres - 1.25.960 - Tyre life should be 70% - 2 more laps of fuel

The fastest lap time are, like you said 1.21 and 1.23 but that's why I used 41% of KERS in one lap. (Lap 71 for P.Pap) and Lap 77 for M.Smith, which as you can see I pitted him again (Lap 75) for a brand new SS with 3 laps to go.
The fact remains. He is very close to my time.

Again Lap 17:
M.Smith 1.28.195 Tyres 83% Fuel 24.8 Soft tyres

P.Pap 1.28.784 Tyres 80% Fuel 21.7 Soft Tyres

L.Jones 1.28.163 And he was closing the gap from lap 12 (+8 secs) to Lap 19 (+1.743 secs).

If the mediums are that close to soft tyres or even the super softs then I guess there is no use to put S or SS tyres. Just put mediums and low fuel load with Normal push level. This is ridiculous! And if the Mediums can compete with the Super softs with low fuel load, then I guess there is no need for a soft tyre compound.

FE Fuel Economy would be high in play here by the looks of it

what is it 1.6 a lap?

1.5 for me I dont know for him

You lap times on softs are near or not far off my times on hards

You


Me

It is the second season on Elite

Super Softs Average 1:25
Softs average: 1.26
Plus I am Level 10 and you are level 20 :P

Monaco I only had 50 FE & TE

What about accel downforce braking and handling?

Same strategy slower car and driver Toymotor only got 3 design points a race

...What the? Ok I need a reply from an official this is getting wierd...

Nothing weird about it depends what tyre you have on at different parts of the race

track is slower at the start of the race than it is at the end of the race, like it should be!

So in order to find a reasonable explanation. The fact that the performance of the mediums is comparable to softs is ok?

would like to think it's ok, the length of stint, the fuel load, the weather, the car & the drivers it all plays a part. only tyres that are iffy are hards and supers, SS dont have enough life and H have too much life.

Not too many people though would be using Med & Hard at monaco lol

I saw similar in my rookie season 1, where medium tires were as fast or faster than softer tires and was told to consider all sorts of factors (which I did and still had no acceptable answer). I still think medium tires have a quirk in them.
