the standard version is harder to drive in my opinion because it only has semi slicks
I love this car. A shame we only get to drive it once a week. The coming 5 Monday evenings are definitely reserved for SRS now :-)

why? the Alfa GTA is great for close racing and it is not aero-electronic car

The Alfa GTA has only a fraction of the horsepower and all the electronics in an F40 are: injection, lights, wipers … I think that's about it – I guess the ventilation doesn't need any electronics.

Really liked this race. I think the braking issues won't be so bad at other tracks. The issue with Monza was big stops causing the fronts to overheat and then the rears effectively turn into a handbrake. I was amazed how clean the race was given the cars characteristics. Looking forward to the next one although i think i'll go for the hard tire next time!

Yes, the race was indeed very clean given that it was at Monza and with a new car that's quite hard to drive.
The choice between medium and hard tires is a very nice gamble, I think. Mediums are just barely enough to finish a race, but hard tires have a considerably speed disadvantage (bigger difference than with other cars). And at the same time good drivers should be able to win a race with either of them.

The start was also amusing. You can tell who uses a clutch pedal.

great race today, i was slow at corner entries, to not block the car , for race i used hard tyres, they was stable all laps to the finish , not like mediums which wasn so stable lap by lap, maybe little slower but no skid, no contats, at start i gain one position but later lost , and then nice battle to the finish
very hard car , hard to stay on track , need very smooth changes in all directions
