New tyres after pitsops

[killa_kandy]

Whenever Im on my outlap I feel that the tyres arent as grippy at first and it takes about half a lap to get up to speed....I dont know if this is just me but do tyres actually need to be warmed up?...if so this is very realistic...

Yeah, they certainly need to be warmed up before they get to their optimal grip level.

Yes. It's been that way since the original GT, only expanding in the later generations - GT to GT3 (if I remember correctly) only had it in endurances, GT4 had it in all races and GT5 has it in practice mode too. See the tyre indicators, blue is cold and very light blue is fully warm.

Online I find that it's even more noticable.

Very light blue is optimal temperature, with max grip (I think you meant that), whereas red is the highest temp with really sucky grip.

It is. For some reason grip level is different online from offline. Even when playing with real grip level in practice mode you'll get higher grip than online with real grip level.
