Tyre temperature

[pipelinetrash]

Is there such a thing as tyre temp in gt7 ? I know we have the tyre wear and is shown in the HUD but nothing that I can see in the HUD shows the temps .

Yes, just recently someone decoded it and was able to get tire Temps displayed through a patch. Also, I've noticed when you go off track and your tires get dirty it takes a few corners to get all that off. It's most noticeable on tracks with sand and gravel ie laguna seca

So if tire temperature is a thing in certain scenarios I wonder if brake temperature is also a thing?

That is what the expensive brake discs are for in the game, which would hint at "yes", but it really doesnt mean is has to be ingame.

There is a rough implementation already in the HUD

If you spin up a wheel or wheels you will see a red outline appear around the tire icons for the spinning tire indicating that it's over heating/losing grip.

That's what I thought it meant at least.

Yeah you can see a tyre temp icon on the tyres. You get a small red ring around each tyres or blue one if they cold.
I use a GT7 app to see they temps. The app for me is far easier to see, plus it gives a little more details.

So, since tyre temp in gt7 is actually real (I too have been surprised sometimes in the first couple of corners in a race, and been thinking “what happened there”) wouldn’t that mean that it is an advantage to use the entire warm-up time on track right before race? Usually I just chill and say hello in the chat, but it seems that warming the tires would be far more productive.

Doesnt the tyre temperature reset to default (given the tracks weather conditions) for the actual race?

I wanted to understand Tyre Temperature (cold/overheating) so ended up downloading a free version of a third party app...it was brilliant from the moment I started to use it (the HUD display is sometimes too small for me to see quickly so the colours/boxes on the app make it intuitive and simple).

I could clearly see how the tyres are cold at the start of a stint and how quickly they came on, and also how quickly I could cook them when I was braking too heavily or in close quarters with other cars.
