After doing Silverstone with the HSV 15th and Spa with the R18 I noticed that in my first stint I worn out the rear tyres at the same rate as the front ones (makes sense, since both circuits have many high speed turns) but in my second one the rear tyres wore out at 2x the speed of the front tyres.

As a matter of fact, I had to pit before the last lap of Spa because my rear tires were at 2 and I didn't see how I could possible make another lap seeing how I was dissintegrating them.
And also after pitting, I tried to pull a quick lap with fresh tyres, no rain and 0% water on track, braking as late as I could, and I wasn't nearly as fast as my best lap, I had to brake a little earlier.

So it seems that grip actually gets WORSE instead of better to the end of the race. I didn't notice any more spinning of the rear tyres in the second stints, but I guess that must be why they wear out so quickly, though the difference is so big that this might be a separate glitch.

BTW loved the Spa race, it's glorious to drive there at night under the rain, better than Nordschleife and La Sarthe. It's a pitty that the AI slows down so much after the first lap, because they actually gave me a couple of good battles before that. Then they started slowing down and pitting too much and the race was over, next time I'll do 4 or 5 pit stops too to make it interesting.
 
Yes, and the loss of pace is incredible. I was doing regular lap times in my first stint, but when I pitted my lap times were 1,5-2 seconds slower! And I had no pace, I was loosing about half a second in each lap, which I didn't lose at the first stint.

I don't know why this happens, neither the light of the other cars not appearing on track or the distinction between dry/wet surface... I prefer this racing fundamental parts rather than the stars in the sky.

Who and why would focus on the sky in the middle of a race?? It's ridiculous. They should have included it just in Replay mode so as to people to take photos and share them with other people. That would be nice...
 
I hope they fix this as soon as it's possible. S races are the only appealing part of the career mode for me and they could be great if they were implemented properly.
But then again, hoping something for PD to improve hasn't worked too well for me in the past.
