Trying to find how fast I can drive around Monaco with the Lotus 79 in rFactor. I'm using the Grand Prix 1979 mod.
Tire data Lap 1 - 4

At the end of lap 4 tire wear is as follows. (at bottom in picture)
A fresh tire is 100%
FL 46.19%
FR 61.07%
RL 14.55%
RR 23.12%
After lap 1, which was my fastest lap. Lap 3 was just 0,179 seconds slower than lap 1. Lap 4, 0,18 seconds slower than lap 3. Pretty crazy when looking how worn the tires were. :doh:
The qualification tires should only be used for a lap or two, they have lots of grip but they get worn out quickly. The out lap has to be taken slow, but quick enough to get heat in the tires and warming up the brakes. But Monaco is such a slow circuit, any other track the tires would be worn out after 1 lap at full speed.

Eclectic means how fast I can drive around the track in theory. It could probably be done if every sector is taken perfectly.
