What you mean?

It doesn't exist.
There is no such thing.
Something cannot be fixed unless it is broken.
To be broken it actually has to be there.
There is no glitch.
And nothing wrong with SS (most accurate compound) for WSC.

Well, didn't these classic race cars use slick tyres in real life?

No. Slicks were not used until the early '70s. If you look closely at the premium classic race cars, you will notice that none of them have slicks, even though they have RH tires. This shows that PD attempted to model the old racing tires these cars had, but the physics are still messed up. Yes, they don't have as much grip as most of the other race cars with RH tires, but there is still too much grip. After driving the Ford mark IV on RH I can confirm that the car is very tricky to control, but the grip that exists before the car loses control and spins out is quite exaggerated. That said, the car, although it has more understeer on SS, is much more predictable than with RH. The most grip-accurate tires are SH, however the WSC uses SS because Furi apparently cannot drive the Ford Mark IV on SH without spinning out everywhere. :lol:
 
You also have to realize that GT runs under perfect conditions at all times. As well as the tracks being of a higher quality then they were in the 60's.
 
Bare in mind, all tyres are based on Yokohama's. They don't readily make a historic tyre to my knowledge.

1. Epic turnaround.

Sadly, there will be no FRL Fridays this week due to only having the Spa report, so a gap week is planned. However, expect WSC Spa report next week as well as both ToCA rounds at Cape Ring and Monza!

Nice pictures Furinkazen- Couldn't you include more cars like the C63 AMG, C30 and Nissan Skyline? Is because in V8 Supercars Ford, Holden, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo currently run in V8 Supercars.

But either way you put it, the Skyline or GT-R has 6 cylinders!
