N4 Question

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pick up N4 in the next week or so, so I have a couple
of questions.

1. When you spin, is it possible to "flat spot" the tires?

2. Can AI cars be damaged on yellow laps?

3. How's the setup page look? Anything new on it?

Flat spot, blow out, wear out, you name it :)

The tire modeling under N4 is really something.

Yea, I couldn't figure out what was going on.. I had done a few
doughnuts, after a spin, <lol> and  then was just trying to make some
steady laps at MIC.. Well, the car was just spinning out, coming off the
corners, like I was on ice.. I was only doing maybe 160 off the corners
and it would go into a slow spin out every time.. Turned out the tires
were shot, from the earlier spins (But the wear-bar still showed
green).. Pulled into the pits, got new ***, and was back in
business.. Pretty cool!
