Simviation Forum - Green grooves for Fuji

Bridgestone have decided that the grooves will be coloured green for the Fuji GP, a marketing ploy to show their "green" credentials.
One small problem, the green grooves stay when the tyres are the softer compound.. which makes the white groove VERY difficult to distinguish.

Or do I need an eye test?

I dont understand why they wasted so much time on this, as you said try to distinguish the soft tyre and its hard to, especially if your colour blind. Why not just paint the softs, would have saved on paint and still got the point across.

OH THANK GOD!!! I thought we would never find the solution to global warming! Grin

Creds to Bridgestone and the FIA (now known as "Fix It All"). These guys are just freakin' geniouses!

Now that global warming is under control, I guess I can FINALLY go start that oil/tyre fire that I've been putting off Grin

the next new solution is to color the fuel green and make exaust flames green by adding copper
