Have you watched Bob do LeMans after it gets dark?

[FosterG]

Well Bob is driving in the rain and in the dark with no lights on the front of his car (FGT), he is pitting every lap to get racing hard tires (I keep changing it to rain tires). He and every car in the race is hittin the ditch regularly but the pit crew keeps calling him in for racing hards! He immediately hits the ditch.
I guess if you do this race in A-Spec (not me), you better use a car with headlights!
If it's raining, why would they insist on installing racing hards every pit stop?

Not to be a jerk, but have you tried switching to Race Hards?

It may appear to be raining, but if the track has dried out, you'll have faster times on the slick tires.

Or it could be a glitch.

Make the switch and see what happens, or restart.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

If Bob wants hard tires give him hard tires. I have learned not argue with his tire choices. Keep in mind when using more than one Bob at times they seem to have different tire preferences.
It is really cool to watch the night racing in B spec and no Bob does not need lights.

Very true... I raced nurburgring with x2010 yesterday, the 24h.
I saw rain falling from the sky, in cockpit it was drops all over window...
He still cruised several laps with Racing Hard tires and seemed quite happy with that. I do not argue with my Bob either, he think he knows best, so i'll let him.

Simply seeing the rain falling is not a good indicator of the wetness of the track. If you see heavy spray trailing the car, you need rain tires. Otherwise, slicks are faster.

The reason I had an issue was as soon as he pitted and switched to the hard tires, he would immediately start spinning out, could not stay on the road at all, so he did need rain tires. I watched this phenomena for about half an hour, the only thing that made it somewhat bearable was seeing the other cars doing the same thing on their intermediate tires. All is better now, daytime and a dry track with a 12 lap lead and 8 hours left. It was just unreal to see him smacking walls and going off the road so much, good thing damage isn't real.

That's why I rarely check the 24 hour race. I might get frustrated! I set a timer on my phone and go down near the end of the race.

I left him alone in the nine hour Tsukuba with a lead and the ZZII, the next day I found that he had totally blown his lead and came in 7th! Needless to say, I felt like firing him
He has a 15 lap lead now with 4.5 hours to go.

That's worse than my bob Spinning out after me mashing the Pace DOWN button.

In the rain, it apparently means nothing to them, take my word for it

At least it's not just my Bob. He's been happily spinning out on every corner of a wet 24hr Le Mans using racing hard tires (softs are available, but go unused ). I switch him to rain or intermediate tires and immediately he's lapping quicker with no spins and still he wants those slick tires. Currently using v1.05. Is this sorted with v1.06?

 

[Disavowed]

Nope, he still does that from time to time in 1.06. 👎

 

[GumbysDonkey]

Bob is afraid of the rain and he thinks driving faster will get him away from it. He doesn't know the track is a circle.

Let Bob use what he likes. I also note that when the opposition changes drivers, they tend to have different paces, which would make sense. Audi R10 hovered around 9th at night at Le Mans until one driver brought them up to 2nd by the end of the race in the rain. I am glad they don't just stay in one place. It is as if they have mechanical issues, then drop back and surge to the front.
I haven't gotten to the 24 hours of Nurb yet, will be there in 3 days. Can anyone tell me if there are 15 opponents on that one?
