Does someone knows about the different available tyre compounds? There is no documentation about them.

As far as I remember, it's like this:
E = Qualifying tyres (only good for outlap and one hotlap)
D = Soft
C = Medium
B = Hard
A = Superhard

Count me in!!

Just for information, the first team to introduce the paddle shifters was Ferrari in 89, and yeap, it was a very problematic season for them
See you guys on the track!

SERVER ANNOUNCEMENT:

Thanks to @JBaeumle for telling me about this skin pack: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/1991-formula-1-skin-pack-for-jordan-191.15462/ We will use this skin pack for the race tomorrow. Please note that due to time constraints, Bobby and I will not be able to assign skins for different drivers so whenever you log on, you get whatever is next. I'll put the stronger teams in the early server slots so if you're there early, you'll get a McLaren/Williams/Ferrari skins

Done some laps on the server. Not having driven this car much but loving the era of the last analogue race cars, some observations:The engine warning light comes on if you redline shifts going up the box; blipping the throttle on downshifts does the same. Surely these cars welcomed aggressive gear changes - it feels as if AC is treating the H pattern shift as if was 1967 and not 1991, and requires slow, deliberate shifts rather than quick decisive ones.
Oh, and digital rev counters with no clear delineation for rev bands are Satan's opening gambit to ruin the world. 15% damage shouldn't be a worry, mind.

If using paddles, got to lift off the throttle when changing up?

 

[Paul Glover]

You can't tell me what to do

No headbutting either!

Possibly yes. I haven't tried it but if the engine is revving between shifts, I would lift yep

 

[Paul Glover]

Ok. So what I need to understand about this car is the damage is happening to the engine as soon as the shift light comes on? So lifting makes no difference.

You meant C = Medium?
