Rain and inters at all time in 1.4
I think Rain and unters should be avaible at all time. This isn't avaible in 1.4 but it was in 1.3

Nathan, from what I have found, the only regulation regarding when wet weather tires can be used is if the race is declared wet before the race start. There, the top 10 drivers do have the option to switch to wet weather tires prior to race start. Besides that, a team can use wet weather tires before the race is declared wet. I believe Raikkonen and Ferrari did this at Malaysia 2009 where they gambled to put inters on just before the rain came down. The gamble didn't pay off because the rain came 2-3 laps later and by the the ferrari's tires were blistering and worthless.
For the game, I think you should be allowed to do this, but have tire wear suffer in dry weather. This may require a function where the game recognizes the track as "damp" for a couple of laps after rain has stopped to enhance gameplay.
A "the track is now dry" announcement can be displayed so players know that if they have kept the inters on, the wear rate will increase significantly.

I don't understand this - intermediates are only available if the race is declared wet. The chance of wet weather is the same in 1.4 as 1.3?
