Online vs offline physics

Does anyone know how the offline physicis compare to online? Are they different? Does it make more sense to practice for league races and such online, or does offline do just as well?

I read many times on this forum that they were different, ask me and i wouldnt be able to tell the difference i dont play that much, but i know spme
People say they are.. Which is weird

Yeah I'm yet to play online, but I've read in a few places people thought they were different. I was just wondering what the general consensus here was

Offline is stable and complex. Online is unstable, and over-simplified. Play online in a crowded room and you'll feel the difference.

what do you mean by "over-simplified"?

answer to question in OP - Yes, online and offline physics are different. Using the offline physics as a basis, online physics have more oversteer but less grip for tires. I had to get used to the online physics in my first month playing online, I had to change the way I tune my cars.

Your suspension feels it has less travel, you have less grip, and the car is limited to a degree of 'roll' (you cant roll the car).

^yes also online it does its best not to let your car roll,offline you can roll all you want I think the online physics stick you to the ground

My experience is that the tyre griplevel is different. Less grip online.
What was mentioned in a previous post is probably correct aswell as mostly an offline tune on a car can simply be adjusted for online by raising the car.
Take any car, FF, FR, MR, 4WD, with a good tune, go on track offline for a good amount of laps untill you hit a reasonable best lap.
Then go to your lounge and try to get that same laptime.
My prediction is you'll stay at least 1 second off that best lap.

Yes the physics are different online vs offline. IMO you'd be better off practicing online, only because the handling is generally worse. That way, you will be pleasantly surprised racing offline, instead of going online and struggling with a car that was tuned perfectly offline.

I personally enjoy offline physics better but that's just my taste

Offline physics is WAAAAAAYY more better. Online physics should be exactly the same as offline.

Yes the physics are different. So practice for your league races online.
