I used the right stick to control the camera, it’s not the game’s fault.

Oh…
Well… That was embarrassing. Um…
I guess I got to go down with that ship, then?
Don’t mind me. Pre-coffee posting.

I was waiting for the tyres to explode

Yes I honestly also thought they maybe should burst or something. I mean doing it extreme like I did, I should have burned down the rubber to the rims.
5+ minutes of burnout does horrible things to tires.

Imagine how it would be going down the Mulsanne flat out, then BOOM! Tyre blowout, bits of bodywork everywhere. And also for the car behind! Too much realism I guess. Quite scary in real life, especially when it’s a truck.

It would end deadly on the Mulsanne straight that is for sure.

I’m glad something works like it should, they don’t need to use any resources to fix it and can look at something else perhaps?
Nothing works as it should.

I did a similar test yesterday.
I drove Mid Ohio for 3 or 4 laps with the right hand tires off in the grass all the way around (as much as possible, some areas it’s not). Laps were slow of course.
But even so, the tires on the left (on-track) showed tire wear happening faster than the right (off-track).

Yes we know that tire wear is really happening. It’s great that we have proof now and ppl like us wasted time to figure that out.

Aha… it is one of these stories again. Never had this.
Do a long race at normal racing speed and the same race driving much slower and see how much of a difference there is

This is exactly the scenario that made me make this post.
I’ve noticed it in mixed weather before, that if the AI stay out, their lap times do not degrade despite being on slicks.
Is it safe to say that the “improved AI” was just more of a marketing pitch than an actual improvement? (Or has AI on higher difficulties always been considered cheating in Motorsport/Horizon?)
The AI in previous titles had a HP boost when set to unbeatable (it still was anything but unbeatable)
It does seem incredibly likely that the current AI has a tyre wear advantage but there’s maybe been only 1 race in the limited series in which this has an advantage.
It depends on how wet the track is. You’re as fast on slicks (faster on sports) on a wet track than on wets until it gets so wet that you see spray from the tyres.
Once the AI are on wets you see a big drop off in pace.
One thing that is interesting is if you hold the Ebrake and redline the engine ensuring your car doesnt move, it doesn’t consume fuel.
If you do that whilst looking at telemetry, does it show it as producing any power? Would be interesting to work out exactly how fuel consumption is determined (distance, time, rpm, “load”/power etc)
The power seems to cut in and out like a strobe light, but doesn’t get to max KW. At least on my A class 23’M2.
