Ok, this is what I see the tyres as compared to GT4

GT5/GT4
Soft:Super-Soft
Medium:Soft
Hard:Medium

We need hard and super-hard compounds and have tyre performance closer to each other.
 
PD giveth, and PD taketh away!

You can send any car and unlimited cars to your friends, oops too late. (Patched away after a trade bonanza.) You can drive under SS11 in circles for 200 laps in a Skyline, oops no more dizzy feeling after bumping to win for 20 mins. (patched after the online rooms went nuts.) You can drive a certain track online if the host has it, oops now you cannot. (Unless every driver has the DLC.) You can drive 15 laps on Racing Hards, oops now you cannot. (Unless you are driving a Hybrid with no charge.)

But the goal posts are still the same distance away for everyone. My Racing Hards are as bad as yours. Just consider it a bad batch of tyres from the manufacturer. (But not like the F1 tyres from the American race a few years ago. You had to put every 2 laps or it would explode!) PD will move the goal posts again after Christmas. At least PD are still trying. A lot of games get released and forgotten by the developers.
 
Tire Wear is fine for me.
Did a short Deep Forrest test (with the astra DTM and the Mercedes 190 Evo Touring Car)
Astra (only did to test drive)
Benz: 10 Laps and I had Tires left for probably 3-5 more Laps.

=> Smoother is now waaaay better

@Carb: I think your overreacting a bit.

I noticed that 90's DTM series looks good (Astra to fast!:sly:) That was on hards King i assume?:dunce: Well that sounds ok to me then:tup: Surely in the long run S3's feature races will be more interesting? 95% of S2 races have still been 1 stoppers despite our efforts.:)
 
To me by the sounds of it.. It's going to make the driving better,but as I haven't tested yet I wouldn't know.

I can't get on today jb so can you send 17 plz, sorry!

Yay dude consider it done.:) And your right it does make the driving better imo, in the Audi for example i can no longer take bends at brake neck speeds like before you actually have to drive them properly now will hopefully mean less incidents with people pushing to hard into corners.

ABS still on 1 for me though, eeekk anyone tried it without.:yuck:
 
Just a suggestion for S3. If the tyres were kept unlimited it may throw up lots of different strategies. ie: start on hards and change to softs late on, or start on softs and try and make a get away while the rest fight for position etc etc.
Just throwing it out there

Yep is something we are toying with Stu, we should be able to get the best of both worlds wear off race 1 fastest wins, race 2 smooth/strategies wins.👍
 
Can I just take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as I never got the chance on Monday. All the best guys, see you on the track. 👍

No you didn't, I don't who I am half the time :lol:

Who's Paul Collingwood? :dopey:

I notice that you didn't really answer the question. Paul Di Resta, Paul O'Niell, Paul Swift, Paul Ebdell? (Google the last one.) it's a Christmas mistery. ;)
