Earlier I had put some sports soft tires on my Lancer Evo rally car to do some test runs for the tune after I purchased the car. Is the any reason why when I switched then and took it to Nurburgring the car went crazy with traction? That car literally shot out of everycorner with mad acceleration and speed. Will a sport soft make that much difference?

Probably just the 4WD.
 
What are the stock tyres?

I'm sure my rally cars have come with racing hards as stock?


Is this the first fast 4wd car you have tried in the game?

It come with Racing Hards on it and no its not the first one I've drove, I've played GT since 1 but I just never knew the Evolution X would react like that, it was just insane with 557hp and the softs I was pulling 1:18's on the Matterhorn Rotenbroden (the longest one)

The 4wd cars are seriously capable now, much more so than in gt5.

Sports soft shouldn't feel grippier than racing hards though. Unless it's a temperature thingm
 
Yea that's what I was thinking but man I tell you with racing hards I was at 1:35 ish and threw Sports Softs on and bam close to a low 1:18, pretty surprising for that cheap of a tire. I know the Evo's are beasts but geeze it was two laps and I was 17 secs ahead of the ghost

Starting to not make sense to me. Not so sure about this anymore..
 
I don't know either I messed with the suspension a bit to befre I hit the track but idk something isn't right with these tires the grip way too much or too little

Messed with the suspension before or after the racing tyres run? Did you have the same suspension and LSD set up on both sets of tyres?

It's a silly question but worth checking.
 
@aliengamer25 have you done this test with other cars? I believe you just stumbled on the trouble with camber, and it seems to be the tires or part of it.
 
Yes the suspension was messed with before I put the sports softs on when it had the stock racing hards. And to answer your question Zuel, no I have not tested with other cars yet.
 
I'm going to say it's a quirk in the physics then. Very strange that the sports tyres would offer more grip than the racing ones.
 
I'm going to say that a 17 second gap is a lie. That should be a comfort hard to racing soft gap.

Or at least a mistake. I fear you may be correct though.

He's either done something stupid, like tested a stock Evo against a fully tuned one, or the whole thread is a lie.

I agree. Something isn't right.

I could MAYBE see them gaining him a second or two in some rare situation, I cannot see 17 seconds.

The physics engine has bugs, but it's truly a good engine really. And I cannot see how 17 seconds could be gained through a bug. The engine is too solid with 4WD cars to allow something like this.
 
He may have gotten the numbers reversed or there is a major bug in the tires and track surfaces. I would think they would get the track surface for the ring correct due to all the data they have.
 
I would like to see average lap data rather than just vague statements, its easy to lose/gain 17 secs on a lap there if you don't know the track/car. Things like tire warming could also cause irregularities, RH tires take a while to warm up on 4wd cars so it could be a case of losing a stack of time at the start and never making it back but I doubt it would be that big of a difference. Could be that the car was setup better for SS than RH, maybe it was too soft overall and it just wasn't working the tires properly.

The only way to truly test this is if someone is prepared to run a few laps and post the data, I'd do it myself but I'm awful at the ring so can't promise consistency.
 
Yes some people on here are full of some really,really, vague statements.
There is a problem with camber,we all,well most of us, have figured that out.
I'm sure there is no new tire/track bug we need to look at.
17 second gain with a tire change,highly unlikely, I test and tune all my cars at the ring,have done so since GT5 and it is not going to happen.
Tested 10 seconds faster on RH, same setup, put the theories to bed.
