Good day, gtplanet.
I´m just wondering, anyone else noticed that a regular rally inspired street car drives like its in tarmac when its on snow, and real rally cars do feel like they are in snow like it should be?
Today I was practicing in chamonix on three rally inspired street cars, to try the Loeb challenge on that same track. The cars: A Lancer, Impreza and a Delta. I was surprised on how much grip they had in snow, that I triple-checked if any on the assists were on, but they were not. I even had to pull the E-Brake really hard to get the rear end loose!
When I got used to the track, I tried the challenge, and to my surprise, the WRC Citroen oversteered even on the straightway and it felt slow. It deffenitly felt like I was on slippery snow. Fortunatly I got gold, but I couln´t stop to ask:
Why did the street cars ignored the fact that they were in snow, and a WRC car couldn´t stay straight for one second? I don´t think it was the tyres, since there is only one type to choose. And the assists were off on both cases.
You guys have had the same problem? Is there something I´m missing? Because its really anoying not to have the same physics for practice than the one you have for racing or challenges. Do you guys think this might be a bug? I didn´t want to post there because like I said, it might be something I´m missing.
Cheers
Editing: Let me add that its not acctually the oversteering of the cars. The point is, that the WRC Citroen on the challenge felt very realistic. It had a hard time gaining speed due to the loosen snow, did incredible power slides on long turns, etc. With the street cars on practice, it felt like there was no snow at all, except for the noise of the road, the vibrations, and the white clouds shooting from the rear. I´m even sure I did better times with the street cars.
