Nothing new here, but i wanted to ease my mind a bit if possible:

When i spin off the track because of a stupid error i made, I get back on quick enough. But the for the next two corners or so, my car feels more slippery.

Is this because of grass/gravel temporarily affecting the grip of my tires, or is it just my shattered concentration that sends me off the track after a recent previous spin?
 
I think we're all pretty much in agreement there's some kind of poor performance effect applied to the tyres after going offtrack.
 
I agree as soon as I fall off the next turn is usually slower.

I think its something to do with entrance speed/ The Faster, the more tires grup entering? I dunno its one of my stupid thoughts :dunce:
 
It might be some kind of heat physics. Maybe the rolling start is a way of telling you the tires were already warmed up. So going off track would definitely lower their temperature until you get back on track and make a couple more maneuvers to put their temp back up?!?!>>!?💡
 
Real race rubber collects gravel and dirt like crazy because it is literally almost soft enough to be sticky. Drive a car any distance on the street on R-compound tires and you will sandblast your rocker panels from all the crap they pick up. So PD is reflecting this dirt getting picked up and cleaned off your tires.

could not agree more:tup:

spyrrari.
 
it wont be heat, im pretty sure it will be the grass/gravel thats on there and its working its way off.

neat feature i thought.

It's a real neat feature, right up until it happens to you in the middle of a race. Then its a $@&*'ing stupid feature :banghead:

Especially when it happens before the esses on Suzuka, you really don't want to get off track over there. In other parts it doesn't matter that much.
 
PD should put a sound effect in for the sound of gravel pinging off your car, lessening as the amount on your tyres reduces. Codemasters did this to great effect in TOCA.
 
I certainly agree that racing tyres pick up all kinds of rubbish they run over and that at certain levels, like F1, heat loss is going to make a difference too.

To follow this through, I would have expected road tyres to show this effect to a lesser extent. However, it seems to me that the effect, in the game, is pretty much the same no matter which tyre you use.

Anyone done any tests?

agree with that, i miss that kind of sounds in gt right now, and the tire heat index.
 
Simple test, burrow your mates car, do a burnout on the street and then park the car straight away on the grass or on gravel and the hot sticky tyres will will pick up all the stones/dirt/grass. After that proceed gently back on the road and if you nail the gas, the wheelspin induce will be from the debris picked up previously.Same goes when you punish tyres around a circuit and go off into grass or gravel traps.
 
I actually meant tests in the game :-)

In real life I've found there's a difference between what a road tyre and a track tyre pick up unless you are doing burn outs.

My feeling in the game is that it makes no difference which type of tyre you've got, nor which surface you went off on, nor how long you were off the track.
 
Since we are talking about tires can I know which tire resembles real world street tires ? did I search but couldn't find anything
 
Try looking through the game manual found on your home screen inside the game. Somewhere there is a list over which tyres resembels the original tyres best.
