Re: Realistic Wear Rate Setting?

I ran 100% Daytona and x2 and I ran out of fuel after 30 or something laps, so I know that normal is the correct setting now!

I've just done my first champ race with 'wear' no normal, the tyres were fine at my stop, I changed them anyway but what 2x etc setting is the realistic one? -- Tim, [email hidden]|[email hidden] http://legends.sports-gaming.com/forums.shtml FREE forums for your league... http://legends.sports-gaming.com Sim racing website loosely based on gpl...

What % of the race did you run? I think wear rate corresponds to race length (i.e., normal=100%, 2x=50%, 4x=25%, etc. So whatever length you run this allows the "normal" wear and employ pit strategies). Is this what you're looking for? Are you saying that you ran 100% length with normal wear you didn't need tires on the first stop? I run 25% length and 4x wear so by the first low fuel message my tires are pretty shot (I get a lot more understeer after having oversteer early on). -- Joe Marques Please remove "NO SPAM" to e-mail me.

Tim, I asked the same question and Dan said 2or 3 times is realistic(or close to it). He said he uses 2x so that's what I am using. I think it's actually a little more severe than simulation, but since I don't run 100% races it's ok with me.
