> are there qualifying tires avaliable for Fri and Sat sessions? if so, > how do you get to choose them? > Denis When you are in the pits during qualifying choose tyres. There are two lines. The top lines are your qualifying tyres and the bottom line are your race tyres. You can choose either for qualifying, obviously you'll choose your Q tyres for your quick laps but you have to be able to consever your Q and race tyres for both racing and practicing

I don't know why this option is even in there. After all, why would anyone want to try and qualify using race tyres. It affects my lap times by at least 3 seconds. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= CIS: 100354,2731 | Plympton | get EVEN! \'o.O' Adelaide Australia | SA 5038 AUST. | Ph. 018-534-787 =(_ _)= *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=U*=*=*

The bottom row are simply the specific tires to be used during the race. The improvement in lap times, I believe, comes from a little added horsepower during qualifying. The default settings for the AI cars have 10-15 more hp during qualifying than during the race. -- Regards, -Dirt- :

Thanks for the clarification. I should have realized of course that qualifying tyres aren't used in F1 anymore! :)
