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? Regards Scott

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. Cheers, Richard

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. Juan Carlos Llovera
