Wet track racing/driving videos and discusion thread

What's the point about having visual only for rain ? Hmmm ..

 

Well, in order to have particles effect grip has to be over 0.9 iiric. And thats maybe good for "damp" placebo. Perhaps they would go and do some wizzardry with tires too, IDK. But I think it is mainy for eye.

And here is a kool video. Looks a bit chaotic.

 

Yeah it really sucks that spray (particles) can only work at a certain grip or higher. Does it only matter about the track grip? If so maybe it could be made to work with a high track grip and low ingame grip setting? I assume on your Goodwood Wet track the puddles are like off circuit grass and the lower grip there relative to the rest of the track wouldn't be a problem? Goodwood Wet with spray would be amazing!

 

Yes it would be amazing, and then something else next would be amazing and so on. Windshield getting wet and foggy, wipers wiping off water, reflections of a car on puddles and wet tarmac...

Having 0.9 friction multiplied by dusty or old conditions ~0.9 afaik, would give 0.81, it could possibly feel ok with some cars, but in general it would be more like damp track than wet. Of course you could assume that tires are proper wets and it could help for placebo. Such setting could work for particular cars, which aren't really doing it with my sort of "hack" in Goodwood Wet mod as some particular cars feels immersive, and some not really. You always have control with temps and Dusty-Optimum.

Spray hack is bad idea IMO because of performance.

 

Yeah doesnt sound great if grip is still high at lowest ingame setting. It makes sense now I think of it as 97 is like normal track setting right? No big deal, wet Goodwood is great fun as is.

 

Remembering our last race in ALOOG with 911 GT3 RS, I had no fun at all lol comparing to S800 or GTA. However, after getting used and after adjusting for pressures, taking out cambers, taking out rear toe, and with full TC and aero, and with less fuel it become really surprising rewarding lol Also seemed like higher spressure allowed to get more heat in tires, alsmost like it actually should be IRL when wet lol

 

I was loving the S800 RSC in the wet. Really good fun!!

 

Yas that was awesomness, only that it was a bit too slippery for really low speed bellow ~90kmh, I kept getting pwned on that detail.

Too bad ACC will only be GT3 cars, though even those should become plenty of fun in Wet conditions, really looking forward for it.

This being said the majority will still mostly drive ONLY dry sunny Spa in afternoon for 5laps sprint races 4 ever.

 

Looks like fun. Also some of the craziest track limits abuse (of the entire grid) I've ever seen, it's like circuit racing with a bit of autocross sprinkled in. lol

 

Interesting.

so anyone know what tires used in this video?

 

Continental Tire G6500 slick (dry) / W2 (wet).

No idea which ones were on the car, Parente's comments (and drive) are confusing. Talks about staying on the dry and wet line within the same one lap. Session was wet though, so unlikely that he was on dry slicks.

Well, Parente's times in the wet Practice 2 session weren't exactly stellar, but all the GTD entries were driving very cautiously.

 

Looks so stable... lots of TC I'm guessing


Also, heavy rain at the N24 atm. No in-cockpit onboards sadly.

 

I mean no in-cockpit in terms of seeing what the driver does, like 'over the shoulder'. But the N24 onboards they have are still great to watch.

 

not necessarily, could be a proper & smooth throttle/brake input

 

Nope not raining

 

Was it raining?

 

Hm?
