I'm not that good in English

Hello mate. Yes if you could use TS for instructions and what not, but you don't need to speak if you don't want to

I am having real difficulties to get the rear tires above 54 degrees Celsius. I been mucking about the settings so I now have a car that isn't to nervous, the psi pressure seems ok (green = 26-27psi) front and rear, front tires in the green, toe in rear max, camber max, max fuel.... Any ideas would be appreciated

Seems to work better at around 20 psi, at a normal track like the sprint version of this track on lap 4 the heat in the rear tyre will come ( you can feel it ) so on this version it will probably take 7 kilometres ,then again depends on the grip on the server it will probably be 98-99 % when the race starts, and just a reminder lowering camber at the rear will give you heat a little faster across the entire tyre--but dont get under -1..
And then again

if it's FIXED setup on the server you dont have to worry about any of this--because then it can't be changed ( only brake balance and ABS or not ) then you just have to stretch your right foot as much as you can and hope for the best

I feel I was a bit unclear in my post regarding the tire pressure. In the setup the fronts have 19psi and rear 21. At about 5km both is in 26-28psi. Rear camber is -1,2 and toe-in 25 and truth to be told; I'm just guessing my way around and reading the description and then trying it out

It's totally normal when the rears cool down. Its a frontwheel powered car where all the friction from the steering and the power is on the frontwheels. The rearwheels are just there to simply follow the rest of the car.
