Cheers. How about the AI and it's tyre model? From my first impressions it seems they do not suffer from tyre degradation like we do, and as soon as your tyres start to go they easily catch up on you.
Even soft tires should last for about an hour (up to 2 fuel stints if you're careful), so if you got problems it was probably because you got them overheated, next time you notice your grip going down try to slow down for a pair of laps, it should get better
I don't know if and how AI suffers from tire wear and i never had issues with them or with tire wear, even on long runs. Maybe i'm unknowingly a 'tire whisperer', managing my tires better than you
Let me check if i can find something conclusive on WMD and get back to you. Information/Opinions on this from other players/members are highly appreciated ofc!
. I was able to step the back end out and control it most of the time. Late apexing, a favourite kart technique of mine worked like a charm. Lap times continued to fall and I felt like I was in total control most of the time. Not sure my poor G27 was too happy with me sawing back and forth on the thing, probably faster than it's ever been used
. I could really feel what was happening with the kart at all times and it was simply wonderful. 
The only other karts I've driven were in GT and there's just no comparison.
If I might make a request, a shifter sized track that's relatively flat and with flat curbs, would be a nice addition. Something with some very fast sweepers, a long straight or two, and only one or two hairpins. The feeling of powersliding a 125 at 100+ km/h is simply sublime and I'd like a track designed to really take advantage of it
I was curious to hear your opinion about those karts. I only have rental kart experience which are half as slow as the 125cc ones in PCARS, but i already thought the physics were quite good and unlike other racing games that tried to throw in karts they feel planted like a real one (not uber light).I thought I would try out the karts tonight, specifically the 125CC Shifter. Started at Glencairn which I'm not a fan of. No kart tracks I'm aware of have undulations like that, but I started to get the hang of it a little. Then I went to Summerton. Struggled with oversteer and understeer but I kept at it and was really inconsistent, rarely putting in a decent lap. Then I thought to myself, as a former kart racer, I'm just going to push thing as hard as possible, like a real kart and see what happens. Brake hard, turn quick, hard on the throttle. Then it all came together

I had pretty much the same revelation last night, but I did end up blowing the engine in one race.I thought I would try out the karts tonight, specifically the 125CC Shifter.

Is that temperature range valid for all tires? Is there a chart somewhere if not?
I already blew up 2 kart engines. Shifting down when trying to shift up is not recommended
What is the best way to monitor your tyres in PCARS? At first, when i was noticing the little tyre icon onscreen i had GT's version in my mind which shows the wear and goes from blue to red.
Feel only for nowI already blew up 2 kart engines. Shifting down when trying to shift up is not recommended
With regards to the physics, they feel very intuitive and natural. If you take some time to set up the car so it is to your liking, the car becomes like an extension of yourself. In other racing games it's always a bit more hairy and there are moments when you loose it and you didn't feel it coming. I've catched a lot of slides in PCARS already and it's always heaps of fun doing so. You always feel what the car is doing making things predictable. Like @Saidur_Ali said he feels the handling is a tad easier than GT6, and i think it's for the same reasons mentioned above.
Confirms my hunch that because there was an intense cooperation with real racing drivers, combined with a good physics and a great tyre model they really hit the sweet spot. Goes to show that harder to drive does not equal realistic like some of the elitists would like you to believe.

I've only seen it changing from blue to green and back to blue, so this must be related only to temperature right? How do you check the wear or is it a 'feel' thing only?
It can go to red as well, I managed to hammer the front left on the Megane in a mutliclass race last night.
I think handling is a lot easier to drive to limit with no aids than GT6 and I prefer that as it behaves more realistically and you can be more consistent. It also makes it really easy to push cars close to their limits within just a few minutes of driving them. I like the progressive slides you get too and the feeling. It has been shaped to be more realistic by real life drivers input so it must be a good thing it handles like it does and they enjoy driving in the game too. Easier to drive like real life is more realistic for me, don't understand why people like really hard to drive games, doesn't feel fun to me if it is just hard for the sake of it.I already blew up 2 kart engines.
