I don't think anyone's done any of that analysis. I just tune the pressure to obtain the desired temperature on a given track. Temperature is way more important than pressure in LFS.
This may change with the upcoming tire physics patch. No word on when it will be released, though.

I find TBO and STD dull as well. And no one ever races LRF. Open wheel isn't even an option on Cargame, which is also lame.
Frankly, I have no idea why they're consistently the most populated racing server.
Cargame is lame. Forced intake restriction on the GTR's makes them boring.
On the one hand, yes, no one deserves any more sympathy for their demise than anyone else.
On the other hand, everyone dies, and it's impossible to give sympathy to everyone. Furthermore, they probably don't care whether you have sympathy for them or not. To me, logic dictates that their brain has ceased to function, and therefore they are incapable of appreciating your sympathy. Your sympathy is better directed toward those close to the deceased.
Morbid food for thought: when you die and your brain ceases to function, does it not follow logically that you immediately forget your life, that you ever existed?
Happy Tuesday, everyone.

I don't disagree with you. See my comment about enforcing real-life regulations for the sake of emulation.

Vancouver is in BC.
Agreed, though, this is pretty pathetic.
Wouldn't that require manual gridding for standing starts?
That is unless everyone just does a lap and gets placed back on the grid automatically with their tires at the same wear and temperature.
Do we get to say "told ya so?" 
Or rather, we told your dad so.
All that hesitation for a week. You could have had your car back by now.

News to me, but then I come from the motorbike world, where everyone uses warmers. I guess it helps that it's no big hassle to lift the bike off the ground with front and rear stands.
FWIW, I'm not really one for enforcing real-life regulations in a sim for the sake of emulation (see my comments regarding safety car usage in a sim).
No argument from me on this.

I now realize just how low 40C is, having some real life experience with tyre warmers. FWIW, my real life warmers have two settings: LOW (60C) and HIGH (80C).
Is there any particular reason why we would not want to be able to use the new tyre warmer function in races?
I heard there was some discussion on this topic in another test patch thread but I could not find it. Can anyone point me to it?

Thanks! The bike's okay, geometry's a bit off, though. Steering is still too heavy/slow. Need to lower the front slightly.
Yeah, Summit Point (see below) is probably the worst in the eastern US for surface condition, save for Pocono but no one goes there anymore. It's a roval and the only thing they care about is nascar.
The other track on my region's (Atlantic) calendar is NJMP Thunderbolt, which is a much newer and slightly more complex circuit.
The Mid-Atlantic region goes here, on the North circuit. It's one of the top tracks in the US, but it's 12 hours from me. NJMP is 2.5 hours, and Summit is 4 hours.

I actually had the rear tire spinning up at 9:58, 4th gear full throttle. That particular corner is a bit off-camber on the outside, so it only stopped sliding once I hit the curb with its greater camber.
Thanks! That race was a lot of fun, I just didn't have the motor to beat him. 70HP vs. ~100+HP. When I saw he was always going to be ahead at the line, I let him go and saved my energy for the last two races I still had to run that day.
You're just delaying the inevitable. Your clutch is toast.
Go attack Annabelle then for "cheating" on total distance by driving a billion laps around KY1 in the BF1 and FO8.
Macs are magical, though. They don't heat up, they don't use energy, they... hmm, can't think of anything else they do.
They're great for people who don't know how to use computers though.

Step 1: Open trash can.
Step 2: Insert laptop in trash can.
Step 3: Go to Apple store.
Step 4: Purchase computer for idi... I mean a Mac.
