Use less throttle. If you're new to the UFR it's genuinely the best solution. Be smoOTH with that loud pedal.
thats what every one keeps saying, but i dont know how i am using too much throttle. i think i have found a solution now.
thanks anyways
k i figured this out but now i have a new problem
how do i make the tyre heat up without the edge of it overheating
Which edge? Sounds like you're playing with camber. Or dropping pressures. Look at the tyre loads in the F9 display, more load = more heat.

Show us your setup and a replay of your driving. If you want your tyres to last more than a lap try using R3s instead of R2s, on the front of the UFR.
Quote from fazza430 :guys i have a serious problem
i am hot lapping the ufr on city long and my tyres dont even last 1 lap
its my front right that is giving me trouble it punchers if i try to race the whole LAP
any suggestions

Add a couple of mm to ride height. I have a hunch that might cure the problem. Alternatively, stiffen everything up a bit.

Just a guess.

If the inside edge overheats you have too much negative camber. If the outside edge overheats you don't have enough
first picture is of r2's in front and rear, second picture is of r3's in front and r2's in rear. my question is which should i use for the upcoming LeMans race at Aston Historic (40 laps)? from what i can gather from reading this thread is that i should go with the r2's. but is the air temperature of them too high, or is it ok?

I'd say try raising the tyre pressure of the R2's to compensate for the temperature. You'll lose a bit of grip (but gain a bit of responsiveness), but less than a change to R3's. If that doesn't work, you might find softer R3's work (to get them up to temp a bit more) but at the expense of making the car feel all soft and mushy to steering inputs.

Trial, error and lots of testing are the ways to find out.

I'd try my damnedest to stick with R2's myself.

the r2's shown are at the maximum temperature. i had forgotten to mention that those temps were after 3 laps, so i think that they would go down a bit during the bulk of the race, so i think i can work with those.

however, i wish i could get the rears' temperatures up a bit, but to do that, i'd have to change the center diff, and the setup is just fine right now.
Again, for the rears, lower pressure or more camber might help. Worth a try - the change of balance might be offset by an increase in speed, but THE most important thing in a setup (other than it being reasonably quick) is being comfortable with it. No point doing 3 laps and crashing at WR pace when you could do 40 laps at WR + 0.3sec.

Take the R3s, it's not worth having to stop every ten laps for new tires... The R2s already in red after 3 laps is clearly not the way to go...

What car is that btw? If it's anything but the small GTRs or the BF1, I'd say you've got some serious setup issues...

Also, you seem to run much negative camber... To even the wear better, I'd say you reduce the camber both front and rear a bit, maybe take some pressure out (to help heating up and gain back a bit of grip you lost while reducing camber)...
For what car? I find the same tyres all round is the better option GENERALLY, but it does depend on the car. Anyway how can you use slick tyres? Can I have your address, as there's a package here for you containing bananas. Either that or your Childcodea trying to access the forum where he's not welcome...

Quote from vanya :I think the best sets of tires are R3 on the front and R2 on the read.Plz tell me what you think about this.

i disagree, depending on the car.

When would a demo racer drive a car with slicks?
hmm...bananas are on the way here :hihi::bananadea:bananadea:ambulance
