So, the upper classes get more tire, which knocks the linearity aspect a bit.
That's why, I think, that the same adder works in ITB and ITA even though the power goes up, yet we seem to have issues in ITS, where they run on the same tires as ITA.
That's why I've got this feeling that finding a sweet spot for each class then varying the weights as a percentage makes sense.
Is there a way to get LapSim to account for the tire differences? If we could build a model for ITA that works, and in general tracks the pattern of the current weights, then I would have a lot of confidence in what it spit out for ITS.
