Having read the bunches of help in Steve Smith's Advanced Setup Guide about tire temps, should I be able to get 170-180 F temps if I've driving in Novice mode? Also, after a practice, presuming you're still running at the end of practice, are you starting from scratch on your tires when you go to the start grid, or are your tires still warmed up at least some?

Thanks, I knew that part, but I kinda hoped that after the practice you went in, topped off your tanks, and got back on the grid for the race with warm tires. It tears me up that the AI cars can stick to the road from the beginning of the race. Kevin Gavitt <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GKok6.96877$[email hidden]...
