Hi there,

Did anyone ever measure how faster is the tire wear/fuel consumption set to "fast" or "very fast"?

I mean, do we know how many times is it faster than "normal"? 2x, 3x,... ? :confused:

Its ridiculously fast. In the order of 10 times as fast, I would imagine.
 
Wow, I didn't imagine that it was that fast!! Makes sense to reproduce long endurance races though.

Thank you guys! :)👍
 
You can test it out.
Take a Sprint cup car to Daytona. Run with tire wear very fast till fuel warning, pit & note the lap count & fuel required to completely refill. Then run the same # of laps with tire wear at normal, note the fuel required to completely refill. Divide very fast by normal fuel required to get the ratio.

1 Run each 8 laps on RH tires 95 for Very Fast & 25 for normal = 3.8 4 may be the real # PD uses.
 
Clever way to figure it out! :)👍 We're far from 60X ;)

As "very fast" seems to be around 4X, "fast" would be 2X I guess.

Thanks for this valuable info!

It is important for Host's to test the setting with the car they will be using - some cars which are very powerful and prone to wheelspin become too difficult to drive even when the tyres are only slightly worn so for these the Host would need to reduce the tyre wear. I found this particularly with the Toyota 7 and maximum tuned classic muscle cars.

Some cars will wear the tyres very quickly, especially in response to aggressive driving styles so the Host may need help with tyre testing from other drivers with different styles when choosing tyres and pit stop intervals. I found that tyre life was quite variable with the Senna F1 Lotus depending on the driver.
 
I've tested several cars since this topic started and find the fuel consumption relatively consistent @ 4X for Very Fast. Tire wear is a completely different matter. I've not as yet come up with a test scenario that provides enough data to analyze with good setups as fuel consumption overruns tire wear and pit stops mandate a tire swap, fuel only is not an option in GT6 unfortunately.
 
For GT500 class, the Honda HSV tires wear is damn lasting, especially on rain compare with other GT500. Beside HSV, which GT500 car tires wear could be as lasting as HSV ?

It depends on the car and track combo usually.

For the GT500 season I ran, cars on RS tyres experienced the following:

  • Normal: 50 minutes on tyres, 60 minutes on fuel
  • Fast: 25 minutes on tyres, 30 minutes on fuel
  • Very Fast: 12 minutes on tyres, 15 minutes on fuel
A car with lower power and aerodynamic force will last longer on fuel and tyres respectively.

In short:

  • Normal: 1x rate.
  • Fast: 2x rate.
  • Very Fast: 4x rate.
