GP2 Tires Go off?

GP2 Tires Go off?

If you have "no damage" on, do you still suffer from tire wear? I've
been doing a lot of driving to set lap records, but now that I have
seriously started a racing season I'm finding that my driving style
sucks as I lock tires up too much and even though I have "no damage" on,
the handling seems to get worse further into the race. Do your tires
wear or is it me getting slack further into races?

The damage on/off choices in the 'car realism menu' are only for engine-,=

suspension-, transmission-, electrical damage, punctures and loose wheels=
=2E
You always have tirewear, but with all damage off you won't have blown ti=
res
or wheels starting their own life.
When turning indestructable on (F4) you won't have any damage, even when =
going
into a wall at 300kmh/188mph. But still you have tirewear.

The F4 indestructability option only applies to damage caused by
accidents. You will still suffer tyre wear and, if you have the car
realism options set, can get punctures, suspension failures, etc.

Hello Scott:

Definitely your tires wear as you go further into the race with or
without damages on.
You have to choose carefully the setups, some setups eat tires at a very
fast rate. And think too about how many pit stops you are going to do, a
lot of fuel in the car makes the car heavier and wear the tires faster
too.
