Didn't see this in the first post or in my brief check of the others.
I'm having a major tire glitch in the 10-lap Silverstone race. All of my attempts were in the R8 Race Car '01 with the TC off except on the 3rd attempt. I pitted at the end of lap 6 in each race.
On my first attempt I used RS tires front and rear. When I entered the pits my rear tires showed 4 on the degradation scale and the fronts were nearly shot. RS tires were selected when I pit but after leaving the pits the car was noticeably more squirrely. By the beginning of the 9th lap my rear tires were totally gone and I had to abandon the race. I don't see any reason why my rear tires would be totally gone in 2 laps when they still had decent traction after 6 laps on the first stint. I was drunk at the time so I just kinda wrote it off and did some other lower tier races.
I attempted this race again twice this morning with similar results.
I used RH this time and the only reason I had to pit at the end of lap 6 was for fuel. The tires had plenty of life left in them. They were of course replaced in the pits with RH again. After leaving the pits the tires felt like full rain or sport hard tires. No traction and the car was sliding sideways in even the slowest corners. By the middle of the 10th lap the car was nearly undrivable despite the degradation meters all showing good life left.
My last attempt was just as bad. I chose RS this time and turned the traction control on to 2. I had a massive lead at the end of lap 6 when I went in to pit. Just like the first race, the front tires had taken the biggest beating but I was only tracking 3 seconds slower on that lap. After I left the pits the tires felt like RS this time but at the beginning of lap 10 it all went to hell. The rear tires went away fast and by the end of that lap the car was uncontrollable. I got the "Skin of you teeth" trophy at the finish line despite a 40 second lead at the beginning of lap 10.
*Edit- forgot to mention that during the pit process the tire meters all reset to full and showed the correct tire. It's almost like the game is showing that the tires were replaced but in reality they hadn't been.
I haven't tried this race in a different car and the only other "endurance" race I've attempted was the 24min of Le Mans. I seemed to have tire issues in that race as well but it's hard to tell with a wet track.
