My RTT server went haywire with the session cycling

So i had no RTT data at all but didn't go under 60% with one stopper. Really low tire degradation but i did try to drive without wheel spin or pushing the nose. I even had to warm them up occasionally, right front was at 83C.. But all that used Davids setup base had low tire deg, i think. Toe-in was minimal and the grip came from aero. There are not many places where scrubbing the tires gains any time, unlike Istanbul.

I'm not sure we can salvage much from that Kennett, sorry. IMO a pessimistic estimate would be 39% wear over 19 laps (approximately half the race), which works out at just over 2% per lap. That'd give us a similar looking max to what we've seen already, but an immense average.
