Green rears will work with the same fronts and offer a little more steering, but I think most are still using Blue rears. They feel a little more consistent over the course of the run, I think.
I hate pink fronts, but I know some people love them, so I included them in my list
Some people still run the classic magenta/pink compounds (sounds like they are still popular in the UK), but I believe nearly every car at Worlds was using either Green or Blue rears (or an equivalent from a different manufacturer, such as the Yokomo CRT-S compounds.)
At think at the worlds the lower grip levels determined the compounds. My car was better on Blu/Blu after your advice and a few others (Thanks)
The most common tyres in the UK tends to be Magenta/Pink or sometimes Pink/Pink, but we have higher grip than the worlds.
Do the US drivers tend to use Blu even when grip is high?
