Thank you! Please tell me your findings!Very good question, I'll see what i can find out.
Very interesting. I wonder if extremely warm temperatures could cause tires to overheat slightly, and if cold temps cause tires to lose too much heat.I'm pretty sure it has an effect.
There was one race in ITCC 5 runoffs at Silverstone that started wet and ended dry, cars had less grip at the end than normal because the track was cooled off due to the rain. Or at least that's what everyone was saying, could have just been excuses.
What kind of tests are you doing?I'm on gt6 doing some tests, it does'nt seem like its doing anything currently.. I'll try a few more tracks and cars.
Are you testing lap times, grip levels, tire temperatures, or what?Night and day tests on brands hatch with a genki silvia, next will probably be a civic on silverstone. Have any suggestions? Maybe rain without surface water.
D. All of the above. lol

Ah yes, I'll try online in a bit.Are you testing online? Because that's the only way it would have a significant effect.
Either temperature or the track wasn't fully dry yet. Even when it shows 0% after rain stopped the track is still a little wet especially off line.
Track temp should effect tire wear but i have never noticed this. It will also effect grip and tire temp but will react different with different tire types. In general harder tyres should wear less than others and softs should ware quite quickly when the track is hotter and on a faster car.Does this have any effect on grip, tire temp, cooling rates, tire wear, etc.?
I am extremely curious about this. If it has absolutely zero effect then I must wonder to some degree why it is included.
Obviously PD hasnt bothered to implement these simple features into what they call the real driving simulator. These features where in codemasters f1 2009 that was released on the wii. Come on PD shape up.What I've found so far is track temperatures do not effect tire wear or grip, both on and offline.
Do online endurance...it's better anyways with the right crowdIf this is real it is a pretty cool feature, but one that ultimately just makes me miss offline endurance even more!
Yep. Overcast weather does this as well. The track cools down. Catches less sun. Makes sense.I have noticed that grip seems to drop off around 5-7pm on most tracks, can only attribute it to falling temperature
