What's peoples thoughts on tyres? I had a little test with a Mclaren F1 647pp with RS tyres and it felt way too grippy, wouldn't break traction coming out of second gear corners so I'd imagine the lower PP cars will feel even worse. Thoughts?

We are racing not drifting...for now tyre choice is down to each individual.
I've not seen much sideways action in any of the touring car/GT series races I've watched on TV.

btw Did you test in an online lobby with the correct wear settings?

Was in an online lobby, i know we are not drifting (personally I like race cars on sports tyres )

While there isn't much sideways action in real life racing, they do struggle to put the power down, they can't floor a 700+ bhp Mclaren out of a corner without lighting up the tyres.

I don't mind soft tyres, it just makes things that bit less realistic IMO

Have you Tried another car? I'm in the Team Oreca R8 race car tuned to 650PP right now and it's spinning up all over the place on RACE SOFT in 2nd and 3rd gear on corner exit!



You haven't left TC on have you?

We race with RACE SOFTS in the series I'm in already (In my RX7 with 582bhp)....no one complains that they are too grippy.

No definatly not left the traction control on

Spent 2hrs today in my 650pp 790bhp corvette, it spins on corner exit in 2nd & 3rd with a little in 4th too on race soft.


Looks like your McLaren is a limpet :P
We are "sticking" with Race Soft for all PP bands.

I'll still try to find some space for a little drift here and there

you always do MrO

He will be drifting his Mclaren, you mark my words.

MrO, feel free to run yours on any compound you like.

[y2blade]

Looking good Colin

mr_oversteer said:

I wonder if the Prius would competitive at 480pp

I was SOOOOOO tempted to build one.

I "MIGHT" turn tyre wear OFF just for 480PP so as to level the playing field for FWD.

I've tried. Doesn't go above the original PP with the engine modifications The Honda CRZ might work.

crz does go up to 480pp

CRZ Racer is pretty good actually

I now have five 480pp racers ready to rock, one more and i'll have a differant car for each of the 480pp races...I have a good mix of fwd and rwd in this class.

This should be great series, i'll go though the thread asap and add anyone i don't have on my psn friend list.

DanielSan said:

Excellent. I've only got one car for each class to be honest. Might upgrade to 2 for the 580pp class.

Will add you on PS network later also, easier to find the lobby then.

Excellent
