Multiplayer - Different tyre wear for each class hopper

Current tyre wear in multiplayer is balanced around Forza GT races, and in class hoopers with similar pi and race length, that is S class tyre wear works like intended making medium compound last more or less whole short race, and soft compound is limited only to qualify, or in extreme situations as backup tyre if u choose wet tyre as start of dry race.

Since A and R class are that much different pace wise, races have similar length, and tyre wear last more or less the same, but in E-C class, races are lot shorter allowing players to use soft compound in race and on some tracks I was able to finish E class race with soft compound wear around 55%, this creates boring race tyre meta in e-c class races, making non race tyre tunes lot slower.

Although I don’t do any P or X class races I can imagine there’s problem with how long medium compound last, forcing players to use hard compound for most of short races (well I’m not sure here).

Since pi is calculated around medium compound, on balanced tracks like Barcelona or mugelo, regardless or your tyre choice u can post similar lap time as long as u have enough grip overall, that’s why in E-C class races ability to do whole race on soft compound, that is lot faster than medium compound, forces all players to use race tyre to be competitive, reducing number of available cars, and turns races into boring momentum race.

I have suggestion to change tyre wear depending on class, where in slower cars tyres would wear faster following this scheme where 100% = current tyre wear in multiplayer (Forza GT), and higher values = faster tyre wear.

X class - 85%
P class - 88%
R class - 94%
S class - 100%
A class - 106%
B class - 112%
C class - 118%
D class - 124%
E class - 130%

I will also attach reddit post about tyre wear to show difference in wear between compound’s

If you find slow cars boring, don’t race them in multiplayer.

I like racing with slow cars that’s why created this topic, what I hate is current unbalanced meta in E-C class races.

We just need longer races for the low classes, Why cant we race on some of the full GP tracks in E class. I’m tired of the same short tracks every rotation.

I think all races are calculated around specific race time, probably something like max 10min for Thiers testing bot, and since in lower classes u would take too long time lapping around long tracks, it’s hard to calculate time correctly, tho I think races like 3 lap of Barcelona GP, would be nice In e class.

And if we make all races have same length (distance) then in higher classes like p and x, races would end in 5 min.

On other side if we make all races in medium length, then u will be forced to use non race tyre, since u don’t have to PIT at all (sport tyres can last whole medium length race)

No, you hate getting beaten by people building to a different performance level than your preference. Slicks should be faster than grooved tires.

Again you don’t understand, he’ s talking about a sub class of race tires

He is just like to meta abuse, just ignore him.
