Proper weight distribution in GT6?

Uhhhh, no sorry. The best way is for PD to fix it. Second best way is to use ballast. There is no third best way. All you are doing is reducing grip on one end of the car. Reducing grip doesn't make a car faster or handle any more realistically.

He said the best way in GT5 is to run softer front tires. Its his opinion, anyway. PD fixing it is out of question in GT5. GT6 is up in the air.

It's not really an opinion to state, "a car is faster in my hands with less rear grip", it's something that can be tested and proven. Maybe he is faster that way but I would guess he's the only one on the planet that is.

True story, I would much rather they fix it rather than me adding a ballast for the correct weight balance on the car.
Makes me cry a little inside every time .

And to guy before, why the hell would you even do that?! 2 different tires will mess up the grip balance even more than the weight balance.
I don't use ABS so that would make the rears lock up way before the fronts since less grippy tire in back and all the weight is moving forwards when braking. With ABS you are probably making them pulse like crazy reducing your maximum braking power even though most braking is done by the fronts.

And they should finally fix the weights of certain cars, such as certain Volvos, MR2's..

The Volvo 240 needs to be buffed.

Lots of race cars run bespoke harder rear compound tires as most racing series are rwd.

I really hope they do fix that... my poor sileighty.

Now that some people have early copies perhaps someone can confirm if PD has fixed it?

Seen a few pictures, a lot still have the 60/40, not sure about the sil80, PM one of the guys that leaked?

 

[eSZee]

The Saleen S7 is something like 60/40

40/60, that's quite different.

Not surprised the weight distribution is still wrong. Really, they could have got it right for GT5 if they had wanted to.
