Sweet! Presumably rain tyres are much better than either in hard rain, but is there an advantage to sport compound over semi-slicks?
Oh, I thought of this while I was watching the last BRC 1955 race: would it be possible to have the backgrounds of a car's line change color as a visible indication of recent (e.g. last-five-seconds) position changes? I'm imagining something like a faint red tint for a car that has lost positions in the immediate past and a faint green tint for a car that gained positions in the immediate past. That way, when a car spins or gets in an accident, we can see whether and how many positions it loses from that - and we get immediate notifications when overtakes happen.
And unrelated to both of the above: is it possible to add non-fatal engine maladies? I could easily imagine a misfiring cylinder in one of these tiny little V8s causing a car to lose 12.5% of its total power, but not leaving it stranded.
