Jack, I suggest you to become a writer/director for suspense thriller movies/books. :-P
But seriously, you guys are doing a great job. We are with you guys no matter what. :-)
And Yunus,
I had sent you a mail, please go through it once you get time. It's been a week now since I sent. I know you guys are busy, but I think it'll help in the next update the problems myself and my other rival is facing in my league. :-)

I understand the re-balancing the tyres. But still leaves me a thought.
The medium tyres will still be the last choice. What I think should be done is to slow down the performance of the hard tyre, not the tyre wear. The hard should be used for those 1 stop race strategies. it wears slow, but the performace is low too. The medium should be better than the hard tyre, which I understand right now it's still not.
I also see now that there is a tendency to abandon these 2 compounds for the strategies and go along with the S and SS, controlling the push level.
So my thought is to change the tyre performances (lap times with them) more than the tyre wear. Your thoughts on it could be nice to know :)

Uuuumh,
I am wondering Jack, are you a robot or something? Judging by the times on some of your posts i get the feeling you dont sleep at all!!!!!!
But it lets us know how much work you and the team are putting into this atm & just letting you know we appreciate the effort.
Looking forward to the new Tyre adjustments over the next while n will be probably cursing you for unusal strategies winning races from time time :-)
Keep up the good work.

Jack...remember to sleep lol...not that I can talk myself. I think the suggested tweaks are good and we can feed back after todays races.
Im really enjoying the extra randomness of a race since these changes are being introduced/tweaked..its ideal timing for us as the new season starts off soon...so hopefully the ironing will be down by then.its also good to get the medium compound more competitive as it was pretty much useless....although it obviously did act a s a half decent default choice.
Making it as close to F1 tyre choices and not making the game boring using same strategy I think is crucial to the longevity of this game...for those of you who opt for 1 stop hard...there isnt much point in you playing to be fair.
When your looking at slowing tyres down please could you slow Marco in our league down :P:)

Thanks Jack. Good to hear.
Once everything settles down and balance has been struck it might be nice to consider "mixing it up" every few months, nothing drastic, but a bit like real like change how some of the tyres work. It would certainly go some way towards dealing with complacency.

I am closing this thread and starting a new one about the next update - tyre performance.
