Tire marbles

[rex1825]

Does anyone have some data how much tire marbles in this game affect driving?

Also is there anything regarding dirty part of track and racing line going on in same way as marbles?

Thanks...

I can't find anything conclusive to suggest that it does have an impact. I have a feeling that it doesn't change anything.

Just gives a visual and rubble effect over them. I do think the tire gets slippery on the outer edges though.

There was some marble areas really close to the racing line on one corner at the RedBull Ring. I got onto it several times and each time feared that would lose a lot of grip but I never did.

Good question. I have been meaning to ask this myself for a while.

Yes you loose grip. Not on all races though.
Realistic track settings in the lobby has marbles effect grip and possibly in the fia races.

...I think I'll get some testing to do. Donno how to make it consistent though, but will try...

Because as up until now, I didn't notice any difference TBH, only difference that I've noticed is if I go out of track, tires need some time to get grip back, but that was said in some of the patch notes a while ago...

fia races for sure you loose grip, learned that the hard way on brands hatch.

For me it's definitely cosmetic with no changes on grip whatsoever.

I thought they were put in to represent where there would be grip loss would be when the "grip loss reduction" was set to real off line. Or was I just imagining that?

For sure I feel a loss of grip.

I think it’s tied to the grip reduction settings.

If it’s set to “low” then I still believe there is a reduction but it isn’t very severe/doesn’t cause you to lose grip for the next few corners like running off the track does.

But if it’s set to real then I can confirm that there definitely is a difference and that it seems to have a lasting effect for a corner or two afterwards too.

I noticed this especially in the FIA FRS race at Fuji. Trying to take alternate lines to pass others would just end in my car washing out, especially in the last sector.

I know that in the live events if you go off track and come back your handling is affected for a period of time.

It's seemed really inconsistent to me, but two of you mentioned different settings, as well as the FIA races, and that makes a lot of sense. I'm going to pay more attention to that the next time I drive.

Yes it absolutely makes a difference.
It's in the patch notes from the patch before last.
I'd imagine settings would have an impact on the strength/ length of grip loss.
