How many boring races I beat with B-Spec in GT4... and the formula championship on which I was unable to keep my tyres alright... a improved version of it will be very much welcome. 

I hated the Formula Championship with a passion... it annoyed me to no end to see how the R2 tires would be on the red at the end of 4/5 laps and all the A.I F1's lasted some good 7 laps. I had to time my laps to gain at least 0.5 s per lap so that in the last stop of each race I would have enough time to still pull ahead >_<

Yeah, it was pretty frustrating. At least it proved that tyre wear was somewhat in line with you should expect from real life, I guess. My brother managed to drive smooth enough to pit stop at the same time as the AIs, but I never was able to do it and any try to pull ahead met some bad ending. I had vengeance in the oval circuit though. It was pretty easy to run non-stop through all the 80 and some laps.

The Super Speedway track was amazing and probably the easiest one in the whole championship. I could easily win there with over 5 laps advantage.

Where I fared best, curiously, was on the Cote d'Azur track, probably because I had a good Downforce setup for the last sector, where I gained over a second in that sector alone with optimal tires, and could still gain some decimals with red condition tires. 

Oh and never try to do a 24H endurance with the F1 car, especially on Nurburgring. By the half part of the second lap you'll already be without grip >_<
