[QUOTE="Traveler, post: 269913, member: 7248"] Ya the DT cars wear out their tires by the time the session ends. Most of what we did consisted of hard acceleration in DS mode up to 70km/h in a very short distance and then immediately slamming on the brakes while maneuvering the car around cones (lots of cones got bumped). During the oversteer sessions, the cars often end up doing a 360 spin (with DSC off) with lots of tyre smoke. Then there were the timed slalom runs where we tried to outdo each other (more cone bumping, hard braking/acceleration). Finally the instructors took us for 2 laps around the Sepang circuit going flat out in 2nd-4th gear (manual mode, engines revved all the way into the red zone) at up to 200km/h and taking corners at 100-140km/h, with lots of hard braking. So the tires are gone by the end of the day, and I am sure some other parts get pretty trashed too. [/QUOTE]
