It's amazing how much grip you get from those tiny front tires, they're barely bigger than the driver's heads :-o
This is a great car and I’m really looking forward to the update, but I do hope they’ve done something about the annoying background sounds. Wish my rF2 looked as good as those screenshots!
Size doesn't matter It's all about heat. Wider / larger tires don't overheat as easily as narrower / smaller ones. Therefore you use wider tires on axle that has more load and on drive axle. In case of cars that have weight distribution towards drive axle, you get even more disproportion in tire size. Simply put - it's tightly related to how much work tire is doing. Work produces heat and larger surface helps distributing that head, so temperature remains in optimal range. Modern open wheel cars have high power-to weight ratio, they're rear drive and they have weight distribution towards rear. This is why we see biggest disproportion in tire size with such cars. Of course there are some influences on "quality" of contact path, so there is still some positive influence on grip. But it's not the main reason why some tires are wider.
Sorry Guimengo ................................ but you are wrong ............. We carefully follow all scales, including of course the tires and rims .......... and driver .........you can check it out for yourself soon ......
I have a question about front wheel traction and ffb. I don't know if this is physics, ffb, trackmap, me or some combination. What I am experiencing is that the ffb gets light even when it seems it should not. For example, no matter what it seems that the front gets light whenever the rears lose traction like when oversteer occurs. I have experimented with a number of different driving techniques and no matter what I do it seems that I can't keep the ffb from getting very light when the vehicle is unstable in any way. Now, having said that I am also seeing that trackmap is showing the front slipping so maybe it's a physics thing? I also set an extreme oversteer setup just to rule out the fronts actually sliding. Trackmap appered to report less slippage but still significant front slippage even with substantial oversteer. Am I just driving too fast through the turns? I'm going to do more testing but I am curious to input regarding whether others are experiencing or have thoughts? Edit - This doesn't happen with any other cars.
hi galaga, in the final version there new 3D tires and rims in accordance with manufacturers references ........... therefore new physics for tires ....... Patience ..... not too long
