much time messing around with ISI tire models to get a feel for how they
respond. Just wanted to point out that save for GTR (which I can't see
into) the NSR lateral slipcurve looks considerably less forgiving than any
other ISI curve I've yet seen. The longitudinal and braking curves are much
softer and look more like the other ISI slipcurves I've seen - rounded peaks
with gradual, initially convex shapes after peak, where the NSR curve has a
sharp peak and then falls off much quicker in a concave shape. They're ALL
identical pre-peak.
The thing I'm looking for in the NSR tire model that I don't feel now is how
the tires will load up as they near peak cornering force and then let go.
The edge of grip seems very soft and fuzzy now, though the sharply peaked
slipcurve would suggest something altogether different. So that's why I
think one of the other grip modifiers is where to look for the answer.
All academic of course, since you have to race online with compatible files.
