Tyre temps:    150 to 250 (F) is OK. Peak grip at 200...
Locking wheels don't produce flat spots. The tires were so hard that
they didn't flatspot. You don't gain any grip by doing that, on the
contrary. Try not to lock them up. If you're good, you can get the tires
to rotate 20-30% slower than the surface without locking them up.

Tail happy cars? Don't cure it, learn how to drive a tail happy car,
that is the only way you're going to be fast in GPL.

And be prepared to keep that L plate on for a long time. This game has a
much steeper learning curve than anything you have tried earlier...
