Quote from evans :

Westhill has long straights, which allows the tyres to cool down alot
Anyway, I guess I was wrong about the lap count then - that doesn't really matter though. What I was trying to point out was the difference in tyre wear between the BF1 and the FO8, not how many laps you should do in your average race.

Remember that you can't take as example short races of 5 laps and "hotlap aimed" sets:
For having some proofs of that theory you should do at least 2 3 stints of about 1 hour on 2 3 different tracks with both cars and a well developed setup. (and for having a realistic result avoid locked differential sets)

I have no experience of long BF1 races so i don't know how much tyres would last, but it can differ a lot depending on setup, track and driving style.
You should test before saying that, imho.

I know all of this. I know that setup and driving style can make a huge difference in tyre wear.

Like I said before here, the point I was trying to get through was the fact that the FO8 would have less wear, if on same spec tyres and same setup as the BF1 (which is impossible, but you probably get the idea).

It all comes down to the engine output here. If you put less power down when exiting the corners, you will get less wear on the rears - it's pure fact.
