So...
I was running the Roadster Endurance race. I figured, for a laugh, I'd start out on Normal/Soft tyres (N3), for the A-Spec points. Took the lead with no problem in my stock 1.8RS after two laps and had built a 20 second lead by Lap 15.
Then, one AI car broke from the pack and started gaining at 1.5s per lap (this still confuses me). So I decided to pit in and change to my Sports/Medium (S2) tyres. Previous tests indicated that Sports/Medium (S2) tyres would gain me 2.5s per lap in this race compared to my N3 times.
So imagine my surprise when, upon leaving the pits, my lap times didn't change in the slightest and the tyres wore in exactly the same pattern in exactly the same time. On the next stop the tyres highlighted on entry (the ones you're currently using) were still S2, but once again no lap time changes were seen on exit.
Has anyone else come across this error/bug/whatever? Are you only able to change tyres within a tyre type (say S1 to S3) but not change between tyre types (N, S and R type)?
