Hard tyre performance update

After a couple of weeks of racing on the live site with the new tyres, we've heard your suggestion that the Hard tyre needed improved performance to be a competitive choice. As a result, the performance of the Hard tyre has been improved conservatively at this stage, such that it should be a viable choice in more race situations.
In other news, the "giant cars" glitch has been completely eradicated once and for all. We thought all instances of this had been removed, but there were still a couple of cases. Sean Riley requested a screenshot of this on the forum, as I promised it was a funny glitch. Here you go!
We had hoped to launch an update to fix a glitch in the Monaco pit lane which means there is no speed limit on entry. Unfortunately we were not able to do this as planned, and are awaiting some required information to complete the update. There is no ETA on when we will have this information, but I will keep you posted on when it is released.

Has anyone else got no thumbnail for this article? Looks ugly as hell on my home page! :P
Just noticed the large car is G Helstrom, that was my driver last season when the screenshot was taken lol :P
@James Greer. I will reserve my sarcastic comments and simply say that yes they are needed
Nice work jack, good to see some updates coming through! :-D
No need for tyre warmers sure they already just below optimal temperature :)
Any news on the tyre warmers ?
"And its the green car of G. Helstrom who is looking like a monster through turns 7 and 8. He's literally crushing the opposition."
Maybe that's why turn 7 is named Memorial Corner :P
Thx for the blog Jack, I look forward to testing out the new hards.
Hi Jack. Along with that tweak in hard tyres, i think it's most necessary you add a push level to every stint individually, instead of one to the whole race.
That would benefit managers that can't always attend races, like me sometimes, although i try to be at most races.
Now with more tyre compounds, i'ts very annoying having to set a push level to be used with SS, S and M in the same race, if we want to use them.
Would be great the possibility of setting a PL independently to every stint.
ahahah, Big Foot of F1 cars...
so you have made the hard tyres faster!
what about the life of super soft tyres on very high wear tracks is it still long life or have you changed that also?
