Hi

Can anyone tell me why in time trial you cannot spec the F1 2007 with full racing tires. Its a a freaking formula one car.
So what im supposed to set a lap time using sports tires WTF?

And any other car for that matter? u cannot spec race tires in time trial, makes no sense?

Anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks
 
S2's are good enough for all the cars to set reasonable times in time trials, you don't need to use racing tires. I don't know the reason why PD doesn't allow race tires in time trials, but I think it's because they feel the sports tires are a nice middle ground, they offer grip so making the car easier to handle yet at the same time some cars are still a challenge to drive, if race tires were available everyone would just use them, even if the car didn't really need them.
 
TTs are also used to compare cars to other cars, so having S2 tyres means there is a constant variable. The difference between Ns, Ss and Rs on the F1 is so miniscule anyway, it doesn't make much different to the overall time.

Everyone else on the online rankings is using maximum S2 tyres anyway...so it's not like there's an unfair advantage.
 
Not to mention the F2007 never had full slicks anyway, so S tyres are actually a BETTER respresenation of the true car. As for the rest of cars, S2 is better than what any should have bar the GT Concepts which are what ever you make of them. (I personally think they'd be S3 tyre'd tuner vehicles, but some may consider them race cars.)
 
plus....the videos online of IRL vs GT5P show them to be near exact. It looks as if the F1 is in TT mode on those videos.

I seen that too, the one I seen though at Suzuka and the GT5:P driver was not up to par with Schumacer and made too many errors so he actually went a little slower.:sly:

Psst, somebody put graffitti on your avatar.;):sly:
 
Nope
do yourselves a favour
Suzuka in Arcade mode
enter a race
spec R3 tyres
and look at ur lap time
then enter time trial
spec ss2 or 3 tyres and see what the diff is
 
so why don't you keep doing it in arcade?. If all you want to do is go fast on R3 tyres, then use arcade mode. If you want to test yourself agaist GT's best drivers - on a level playing field with the same car, same tyres - then use TT with S2s. If you want to do TTs with R tyres, you have an unfair advantage and whats the point of proving that you are faster with the same car on differet tyres? The challenge is to be R3 fast on S2 tyres - but only if you are in TT mode.

Paulie: Yeah I know...it's outrageous....the youths of today (wait a minute...that's me). I tried scrubbing it off but I scrubbed the helmet off too....so I pressed Ctrl+Z.

Do yourself a favor, and put N1s on - they are the closest to realistic for this car at this time.
 
If you think F1 cars yse same tires as a Econmic car you are CRAZY. To say that the tires they use in real life arent race tires is ridiculous, non-race tires would explode after a couple laps of the speed and amout of force applied to said tires. With that said R3 would help around hairpin and the chicane mainly when compared to S2 tires.

I don't think N1 tyres on the F2007 are actually supposed to represent ordinary road car tyres, but more as an accurate representation of how the tyres of an F1 car perform. What PD should do is remove the current R1-3 tyres for the F2007 and replace them with the N1-3 tyres, but just rename them as R1-3 tyres and restrict us to only those tyres to stop the confusion.

👍 That would definately stop the confusion, at this point I only use N1s on the F1 as they feel the best
