Has anyone actually seen a car pick up "oil stains" in a race?

[Nebuc72]

In Scapes (and Race Photos) we have the option of enabling/disabling oil stains on a car (see dirty cars in pic) - the type of mess you see in real life after the cars have been racing for a while. (I know I've been blabbering on about this in the Discussion thread but... what can I say. I'm a saddo.)

I've done quite a few long races in GT7 (3+ hours), and no matter what I do I've never seen a car actually accumulate anything aside from a base layer of dust. The fact it exists within race photos as a toggle means we're supposed to see it in races, as otherwise we'd have no reason to want to disable it.

I'm starting to assume this feature is actually completely unimplemented, so I'd love to be proven wrong.

I think ACC has this feature. But in GT-Series, all cars are looking always shiny. even after 20 laps

This is not in the game unfortunately.
I also kind of dislike the shininess of the cars, it's too much.

Nice paint job, I wish I had that much patience.

That's a shame, because it must have intended to be.
It's an option you can toggle on the display of the car in race replays, meaning it was meant to show up.. in races.

Would be interesting to know if it was in 1.05 and got removed among the other effects.

Don't think so, I've done these races since release every now and then (certainly did one before 1.06).

If it was removed, it was still at a point where it will never be seen to most people - I think the most likely outcome is that it's just not in game, which is very disappointing.

Well. Another disappointment then. Wish I had never seen your thread.

It's a shame, it's one of those little features that would go a long way.

You can get dirt to accumulate like that with specs and mud flakes in willow if you offroad lol.

Kinda spot on, just slightly exaggerated, what people might think are oil stains are actually a mixture of dirt and other substances, but it's actually mostly dead insects which tend to come out during the evening.

Here's an example, using the Corvettes at Le Mans in 2017, this is what they looked like just before sunset:

This is how it ends up looking at around 10-11am the following morning:
