So as there is no ambiguity - the track conditions for this race will be set as the above real-life (ish) Weather forecast (also fulfilling one of the aims in the Club 'suggestion and wishlist').

So,

68% wet track (which is not expected to dry fully by the end of the Race)

4.47 metres/sec NE Wind speed.

No rain.

Cloudy.

Edit: Air temperature 28oC


I suggest: Wet setup / Wet Tyres / Wet ECU setting / TC > 5 and lots of practice.

What percentage of dryness should be expected around lap 10?

35% ish. I ran a full race sim and there was still spray at the end. Depends each time on some factors though.

So any dry tires are just a no go.

Interestingly though, if the weather had been sunny instead of cloudy then it would be a different story.

Added a poll at the top of this page so you can decide. 

The GP10 is a special beast.  Very special.   A bit like a Gremlin you can ride one but it will often bite - add water and you will seriously regret it!

POLL REMOVED - IT WILL STAY WET BUT HOTTER

I have taken the liberty of upping the air temperature to 28oC as I could not get the tyres higher than the tyre-warmer temperature of 60oC on track and the tyre physics files for this bike and tyre says Optimum is 75oC.


Now I can get the tyres up around 70oC and it has made a huge difference (for me) - hell I even did 3 laps without a front tuck.
Try it you might change your vote (in Testing if u cant get on server - all the data for the testing settings is here in this thread).

Final Edit: Honestly it makes a huge difference to the bike I just did some more laps no problems.
Changed my vote to the other one now I have stopped crying.
