Assetto Corsa Tyre Compounds
#1
Hi all, I've been away from SRS for ages and I'm looking at joining in with the Audi TT races as I did those last time.
What I can't remember is whether races are generally run with soft tyres or mediums. I think I remember everyone tending to run softs for the 20min races but I'm not 100% sure.
It'll be helpful to know in order to be able to judge when I'm running at a good enough pace to get into races.
Is there a general rule, or do people vary it themselves depending on whether they want to preserve performance for the end, or hang on with worn tyres until the flag?

Each car has its own selection of tire compounds that are available. For the 20-minute races, a set of mediums is plenty, but whether you can sustain a set of softs depends largely on the car. I know the Nissan Primera BTCC would chew through soft tires like a kid with unlimited access to his Halloween candy on November 1. For the one-hour races, most of which require a pit stop, and some of which use accelerated tire degradation (170% or 200%), it's a similar story, where two stints on mediums should be easily doable, but one long stint on M followed by a short stint on S is a viable alternate strategy. It's rare that you'd ever go for the hardest compound unless the track itself is particularly abusive.
